I have been working with Max for a number of years. I have asked this question to two of the top Max/Msp programmers in the United States and they cannot answer for me a seemingly easy question.

I have a Max/Msp patch built in Max 6.1 that I would like to turn into a Max for Live device. When I open it in max for live it plays through Max 7 fine. It is a complex audio patch. It has 5 sub patchers. I have tried to link it up to max for live and save it as a max for live device to no avail. I have done this with easy max patches no problem. Using the in from live and out to live objects with easy patches is no problem.

It would be nice if the audio patch opened up in Max 7 that it would just open up in Max for live instead of having to create a patch inside a patch in M4L. I thought this would be changed with Max 7. But I cannot find any documentation that says differently..MFL also doesn't notice an object that works fine in Max 6 and 7. This is something that should be EASY, not hard to do...

I thought Max 7 would be able to edit and make my own Max for Live devices? Any help would be appreciated greatly thanks.

If I understand you right the workflow you are looking for is the following: 1.) set up you patch as a Max Project (not a simple patcher). 2.) In the project window click on the "Manage Project Icon" at the bottom and select "Export Max For Live device...". This will create a frozen *.amdx device file containing all dependencies (abstractions, JS code and so on used in your project). The *.amdx file you can open with Live. I you edit (=unfreeze) this device later in Live a new project (and folder) will be created in .../Max 7/Max For Live Devices/ containing copies of all the included files your device depends on.
