Does Max/MSP have an equivalent to the keyname-object (the left output) in PD? Or at least an object which outputs key up and key down separately?

keyname-object-in-msp

Two objects: key and keyup. I always go a step further than using the ASCII codes: take those and go into a sprintf %c object. Then you can route or select based upon the actual key name (like "m" instead of 109).

You do need to select the ASCII for certain special characters: space, arrows, Enter, Escape, backspace.

that's everything i needed, thanks! developers should include a link to the keyup-object in key-help.

also, you could use itoa to convert the ASCII keycode to a symbol.

Or, if you're stuck in a version of Max too old to have itoa, you could use coll to look up symbols based on key number.
