i want to use a patcher and some Objects i wrote in Max 6 and want to run them on a PPC-machine, where i just can use 4.6.3.

Max 6 patches have the ending .maxpat but Max 4 patches have the ending .pat

Changing the ending does not help, it just shows me the patcher in text format then.

Is there a way to use Max 6 patches in Max 4? I didn't use any objects which aren't part of Max 4.

Max 6 patches have the ending .maxpat  but Max 4 patches have the ending .pat

apparently there is a way; you need to use supercollider-- there is supercollider code by frederick olofsson that can convert max 5/6 format to max 4; maybe search the supercollider wiki for more info

coo, then this should work(same as floatingpoint mentioned):

(^ha! "so this is software with a hidden agenda." ....'hidden' but... in an explicitly honest and exposed manner ;D)

Thanks Floating Point and Raja, i will check it!

Great, i got the SC class running to convert max patches. I can test the results on a ppc on wednesday...

let us know how it turns out-- i'd be interested! (i've got an old laptop with max 4 on it, so might come in handy for some projects ie temporary installation or whatever)

(i've used it before... it gives a nice readout in the post window of anything it doesn't know to convert... converts most, though... let us know the results in the post window if you have probs, too...)

I did't get any messages in the post window.

it was nearly all working fine, but i had some problems with some self-built objects where i accessed arguments by using #1 #2 etc...

will describe this more precisely later, but now i am struggling with another problem...
