I'm afraid it's not as simple as that. [plugin~] doesn't know anything about Pd's search path. It uses the environment variable LADSPA_PATH to search for the DLL. Depending on how portable getenv() is, you might just be able to set the LADPSA_PATH on windows to the directory that contains your plugins, and then use the external exactly as you describe below. > E.g. would "plugin~ sc4 sc4.dll" be the correct thing to type to get it to > load the sc4 compressor plugin? > If that doesn't work, you should try giving the absolute path to the dll, e.g. [plugin~ sc4 c:\my\plugin\path\sc4.dll] I'm not exactly sure of the path spec that dlopen() expects on Windows, so you might need to experiment with e.g using forward slashes: c:/my/plugin/path ?? > Is it possible to use LADSPA plugins on windows?

It's definitely possible as evindenced by Audacity's LADSPA support. It's just a case of getting plugin~ to find and load the plugins.
