I am following a tutorial on Youtube but it's PD and I am trying to recreate the patch in Max. What is the equivalent for the PD throw~ and catch~ objects?

Hi
I am following a tutorial on Youtube but it's PD and I am trying to recreate the patch in Max. 

trrow~-catch~-equivalent-in-max

send and receive. because non-MSP send and receive will also forward signal connections.

for the technical difference between send and send~ allow me that i am pointing you to the forum search. 

i looked at the pd helpfiles for both and i suspect there are minor differences anyway.

if you need to rename the throw~, then you have to use [forward] in max.

if you stick to the send~/receive~ (with the tilde '~' symbol, similar to the original throw~, as this is the normal way to delineate between signal-handling and regular objects), you don't need to worry about using [forward], you can use the 'set' message like with other named contexts in max:

technically, aren"t tapin~ and tapout~ somewhat closer analogs to throw~ and catch~ ?

i could be wrong, but this article seems to imply they're more like send~/receive~:

(maybe there's a delay introduced somehow we're not aware of, but it's true i'm not actually familiar with PD anymore, apologies in advance if i misunderstood)

(also, wasn't trying to contradict Roman 😅 

but felt maybe there might be a simpler answer to try first.)

send~... i first wrote that... but later changed my post to the non-MSP objects, because the pd helpfile confused me lots about the differences among the pd objects. :)

maybe the best advice is always to point out that there are mostly no 100% identical objects, which means that you have to make your own abstractions and check stuff carefully, message by message.

"technically, aren"t tapin~ and tapout~ somewhat closer analogs to throw~ and catch~ ?"

pd´s tapping buffer is delwrite~ i think.

well, actually it is quite different, too.

I used send~ and receive~in the end. That worked. The PD tutorial also used delwrite and delread for a buffer which I replaced by tapin~amd tapout~

Throw~ /Catch~ equivalent in Max?
