Puredata

If you want to use packaged plugins, you can use the 'puredata-with-plugins' wrapper:

Create a shell.nix with:

 { pkgs ? import <nixpkgs> {} }:
 
 pkgs.mkShell {
   buildInputs = [
     (pkgs.puredata-with-plugins [ pkgs.zexy ])
   ];
 }

... and you can

 nix-shell shell.nix --run "pd -lib zexy"`
