Hey, noob question, I've been maxing for a year now, and just bought Ableton. I'm trying to port my polyphonic synth into Max 4 live, but am having some issues reading my poly~ even though the amxd files are saved in the same folder. I've tried saving the folder into the M4L Instruments tabs under presets in my Ableton folder, I've tried saving them together in the Max instruments folder in Max . I've also tried showing the containing project and adding the files, but even when I do that it will create a new folder with nothing in it, and when you close the patch and open it again the files you added are gone.

Pls where do you save the folder???????????

Also can you save to amxd from the Max window, or do you have to open ableton, drag a new instrument, copy and paste your patch and then save every time?

amxd files are like closed max projects - quite literally so.

Make sure you add the poly patch to that project, then do the export as amxd.

And after everything is done, freeze and save the device to be extra sure that the amxd is ready to run, no matter where you move it to.
