I've heard that Max can read SDIF (Sound Description Interchange Format) files. Is this true?

If I have an SDIF file that contains frequency and amplitude information for a series of sine oscillators, can I simply plug this into a certain module in Max, upon which Max will feed this frequency and amplitude data to a set of sine oscillators?

No, Max Can't. But objects from CNMAT can and do it well :

Exactly. There's a really handy tutorial with a lot of example patches 

made by Michael Zbyszynski (thanks to him).

Be aware there's a prehistoric limitation of max to receive only lists

Be aware there's a prehistoric limitation of max to receive only lists 
of length 256 maximum...

To get rid of this limitation (256) I'v used ftm to manage the data 

for SDIF files here is a patch (it does need ftm externals installed
