One thing I haven't been able to find in Max is PD-style data structures and scalars. Do they exist? With drawing instructions? This is the main reason I have been creating my sequencer with PD instead of my school's computers with Max (also because I can install PD on my flash drive). I saw "data structures" in a Max tutorial, but it had nothing to do with the scalars of PD, and I couldn't find any tutorials that did. None of the people I know who use Max have heard of such a thing. Is it there with a different name? -Chuckk

Ok i'm curious .... why would someone spend 400 dollars on max when you can get pd for free. Is it because of the ability to make plugin's using pluggo. But can't you make plug-ins from pd as well. I was going to buy max but i came across pd and thought, "this is great..max for free." Am i wrong. And yes i read about the differences .. but they don't justify 400 dollars.
wondering, matt
