Sending text messages from AMXD to MAXPAT

Hi. I would like to send text messages (example "Hello") from a M4L device (AMXD) in Ableton to a standalone Max patch (MAXPAT). Is that possible? How?

Hello.
It's possible with for example with.

In the amxd :

[udpsend localhost 7777]
to send informations to external max
[udpreceive 8888]
To receive from max

In max :
[udpsend localhost 8888]
to send informations to an amxd in Live

[udpreceive 7777]
To receive from the amxd.

Notice that ports (here 7777 and 8888) have to be different in each program and opened in your firewall.

Maybe there is other solutions..
