Mac to PC compatible patches

Hi all,

I'm fairly sure that Max patches ( .maxpat files) created on a Mac can be run on a PC, but I've never tried this.

Can anyone confirm that they have done this?

Thanks

Mark.

Sure, completely true.
the only thing to be sure of is a few things, such as:

- loading/saving files (paths are structure in different ways)
- eventual externals (some might be platform specific, but you will *probably* find equivalents (or the very same object, just built for the other platform. which will need a re-download)

based on my experience if your patch is not too complex you won't even notice the difference
