I have some objects in pure data that I would like to translate into max objects ...

What are these pd objects called in max? Are there any equivalents?

I really appreciate you help, since I prefer to work in max!

Also in general: Is there any way I can see which PD objects are equivalent with which max objects?

Once you get past the very basic objects, converting PdMax/MSP becomes an exercise in understanding what objects (or groups of objects) 

, and then finding an idiomatic way of doing the same thing in the target environment. Lots of times there isn't a one-to-one relationship between the two.

For instance, Pd has a hipass object. MSP doesn't provide a dedicated one-pole highpass filter because you can simply lowpass the source and subtract the result from the original for—hey, presto!—a highpass filter. So, to translate this you need two objects and a couple of patch cords in Max (or you can build yourself an abstraction as a plug-and-play replacement). There are other examples where Max/MSP has a convenience object you'll need to patch a little in Pd.

There are some fluently bilingual (Max/Pd) people around, but until one of them has time to look at this, you may be able to dig out the answer. But it's mostly not a rose garden.
