I was thinking, this would be the perfect place for a sed, awk, or perl script. Has anyone tried to write a script to convert Max/MSP patches to Pd, or vice-versa? It would be a great resource, especially if it was developed into a substantial program.

hi,
would not say 'most', as the missing objects are: meter~, umenu, pcontrol, led, scale, and multiSlider (plus the two I do not know about: panP, and munger~ -- are they abstractions?). All the others load more or less ok via the cyclone, including vpatcher.
Usually, the way missing objects should be dealt with, is not removing them, but defining abstraction replacements.
But still, importing max patches is a hard work, unless a patch has actually been created as a cross-platform one.

Yeah, most of the objects specified in that patch don'texist in
Pd. Like multislider and vpatcher, etc. You could take out all the incompatible objects in Max and then give it another go, or just
rebuild
it in Pd.
