Vortex Sound Research

So I'm downsizing my gear due to money trouble and really don't want to get rid of my zadar (and kermit mk3). Thankfully it's been making me look into software alternatives. Trying to wade into maxmsp, but I'm a slow leaner of code stuff hehe. Are there any tools/resources for wavetable type modulation in vcv, maxmsp/maxforlive, or puredata that might help me come close? Right now my best solution is using the ableton utility cv tool (which is great) and basically draw automation lines that become cv via my es-8. I assume something like the Zadar is probably a big project to code yourself, but I also suspect some people are doing something similar in software. Any help is welcomed thanks.
