hi Matti - the only thing i've seen that is something similar to what you're asking is the Heavy toolchain from Enzien Audio based on the online Tannhauser compiler. it can convert a PD patch into C++ where it can then be used as a plugin for different platforms, including in game audio middleware. the service is a commercial service if the product you're planning to use is commercial in nature. at that point you could use it in something like JUCE to do what you need to make it a full plugin or standalone app. many commercial companies use PD or Max to prototype what they eventually sell as commercial software. Joe White is on the list and may have more info than me on commercial uses of Heavy: https://enzienaudio.com/

Anyone know if compiling Pd patch to C could offer a possibility, e.g. as an extension of Pd?

There are some around:

So patch -> C -> binary and then have Pd somehow open the binary as patch?

I think being open to commercial development could make it attractive to develop e.g. high quality oscillators and filters for Pd.
Commercial synthesisers and effects are often better than freeware.

Reaktor has a lot of good free ensembles, but development wise its also more refined product (i.e. the development ought to be less painful).

I think it’d be interesting to be able to have a platform where one can combine open source and commercial “modules”. Best of the both worlds, so to speak.

But as I suspected it sounds like your intention is to sell pd patches back to the community?

What about using Pd as a C/C++ library and writing the patch that way? Or perhaps LibPd?
Would this allow the patch to be compiled as a stand-alone program? Yes?

The easiest would be if there was a way to open a patch in binary form in Pd.

What I’ve been envisioning would be to create “modules” for Pd similar to Reaktor’s Blocks that would
allow for a more high-level patching and usage of Pd. And it could motivate developers to develop patches
in a more standardized “blocks” form, rather than as unstandardised patches.

Reason, I’ve been wanting to see modular synthesis properly realised in Pd. But I wouldn’t want to
spend effort on developing modules that I cannot profit from, since I could do that using some other platform.

You'd have to modify Pd if you want to be able to run patches and
keep it a secret how the patch works.  I don't think people often feel the
need to do that but it wouldn't be hard to do.

But how do you close and distribute a Pd patch so it’s not viewable? Can you open a Pd patch distributed as binary?

I only found this:

How do I compile a Pd-patch to run as a stand-alone application?
