PlugData v0.6.0
Pre-releaseIMPORTANT: This version is not compatible with DAW saves from v0.5.3. If you're using a recent Actions tab build, you should be fine. Hopefully the last time that happens. But if you have DAW projects you want to keep:
- Save all opened PlugData plugins to Pd patches
- Remove PlugData from those projects
- Upgrade PlugData
- Re-add PlugData
For Linux users, I'd recommend using the OBS packages, or the AUR package on Arch.
OBS packages (maintained by @KottV): https://software.opensuse.org//download.html?project=home%3Aplugdata&package=plugdata
AUR packages (maintained by @aik2mlj): https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/plugdata-git
Thanks to @JoshuaACNewman, @ludnny, @kreth608 and @QuevasMz for sponsoring the development of PlugData!
This version includes many improvements, most importantly:
- Updated to ELSE-rc3, which includes new band-limited oscillators, [numbox~] and more! Now also includes the [sfont~] object, and the Live Electronics Tutorial.
- Built-in oversampling to reduce aliasing in patches with distortion or non-bandlimited synthesis. You can enable this by clicking "1x" in the statusbar.
- Installers for Windows and Mac to make the installation process faster
- Externals work in the standalone on Windows now!
- Smart-patching: Shift is the magic key
- Create multiple connections at once with the shift key + multiple selection.
- Create multiple connections in a row with the shift key + single object.
- Drop an object into a connection by dragging it over a connection while holding shift
Other changes:
- Fixed copy/paste activity bug
- Added implementation for [text define] object
- PlugData's Deken implementation is now much faster, and gives instant results while typing.
- Print messages are correctly concatenated
- Fixed glitches when dragging an object close to the edge of the canvas

- Better performance
