I use both 4.6 and 5 version on an Intel machine (Mac Pro) 8-core.

Is there a way to open Multiple Instances with Max 4.6 and 5?

would it be a script or something similar?

I believe you can duplicate the application in the finder and make an applescript to run a certain patch with Max-1 and another patch with Max-2. Here is what I use ;

do shell script "open -a /Applications/Max5_2/MaxMSP2.app/ '/Users/hubbles/Desktop/mypatch1.maxpat'"

do shell script "open -a /Applications/Max5/MaxMSP.app/ '/Users/hubbles/Desktop/mypatch2.maxpat'"

    set current pane to pane "com.apple.preference.sound"

    tell slider 1 of group 1 of window 1 of process "System Preferences"

tell application "System Preferences"
	activate
	set current pane to pane "com.apple.preference.sound"
end tell

tell application "System Events"
	tell slider 1 of group 1 of window 1 of process "System Preferences"
		set value to 0.8
	end tell
