I think it is unlikely that there is a noticeable difference in

the small chance, that there might be a difference in some small
details that effectively make a difference..Also, consider that MSP started from Pd code.
I thought pd came out later (1997) and was completely rewritten
with fundamental differences (esp. when it comes to fft and stuff
like that).Max didn't have MSP until Pd came along, it was all about
manipulating MIDI. Check out the copyright splash screen, it says
"portions based on Pd 1997-2005".no, it says Pd and MSP are based on ideas in Max/FTS, an advanced
DSP platform (C) IRCAM.
Look at the line above that one. Max/FTS did have synthesis, but it
was on a separate DSP CPU.

"Max has a number of extensions and incarnations; most notably, a set
of audio extensions to the software appeared in 1997, ported from
Pure Data. Called MSP (short for either Max Signal Processing or the
initials of Miller S. Puckette, the author of both Max and Pd), this
"add-on" package for Max allowed for the manipulation of digital
audio signals in real-time"

I learned in school (but that was loooong ago in 1997) that miller
wrote max and max/fts at IRCAM in the mid 80s, max already had
signal processing in 1990. then he jumped off, david zicarelli
sticked with the existing code and developed msp and miller rewrote
pd from scratch in 1996/97.I think max/msp took also code from pd, but that was later. marius.
