chris/joão/others,
Use the 410 if it works. Put a mixer or pair of mic pres in front of the two 1/4" inputs if you need more than the two built in pres. If your 002 is the standalone (not rack) version then it should work as a mixer without being plugged into a computer.
it is a standalone. you mean essentially merging two signals on each of the L/R inputs? this wouldn't work for this piece, the patch requires 4 distinct signals, coming from 4 instruments; each is processed separately in the patch.
No, I mean use the two mic pres on the front of the 410 and then two of the mic pres on the 002 to feed the two 1/4" inputs on the back of the 410. Or use the 4 pres on the 002 and then route each to a separate out and then into the 4 inputs of the 410. Or get a Mackie or similar mixer with 4 busses or direct outs etc.
It might be faster and less painful to move the patches to Max...
yeah... but the concert is tuesday afternoon! while i'm on about it... info below.
But the chances of that hardware working in Max are very near 100% while the chances of the same gear working with Pd is not nearly as great (more like 0% for the 002). In the past I have use the .pat file format to move patches between Max and Pd. You have to change all of the spigot, moses, osc~, etc objects and most everything has a direct equivalent.
The other options are to procure other audio interfaces and/or a PC running Windows or Linux.
Good luck.
