Floating Point

I'm not ready to upgrade to max 7 yet. But there is some functionality in the dict objects in max 7 that does not exist in max 6-- is it possible to have some particular native dict externals from max 7 that replace the equivalent same-named objects in max 6? Or would this be death by 1000 cuts?

I guess technically it would be piracy, right? It's a fun thought exercise.

for what it's worth I tried copying the Retune~ object into my Max6 externals folder and it would not load it. it relies on something within Max7's MaxAudio.dll to function properly. of course that is an MSP object so maybe you will have more luck? back to Pitch~ and Max6 for me though. (and yes I own Max7!)

Haha that's the external I tried too, also without luck. But I thought I'd also try a generic 'old-fashioned' object, just to see; and [bucket] v7.x works fine in max v6.x

Pity about the new audio-rate externs... but as Wetterberg says it's more a 'thought experiment' for me- when I get a chance I'll try the dict objects.
