Not only that, but objects that weren't cloned into Cyclone also have alternatives in ELSE, see: this)

Status

plugdata is a plugin wrapper for Pure Data, featuring a new GUI made with JUCE. This is still a WIP, and there are probably still some bugs. By default, it ships with the ELSE collection of externals and abstractions. The aim is to provide a more comfortable patching experience for a large selection of DAWs. It can also be used as a standalone replacement for pure-data.
