apart from browsing the archives at http://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/pd-list/ (note that i am ignorant of any moratoria that might be around), you could also try to:

1. save the max-patch as text (with .pat ending) and open it in pd
2. use cyclone (i don't know much about that, but this has definitely

been discussed several times on this list)

Thanks.. Iohannes, but my concern is about converting a patch from pd to Max and not viceversa. I didn't find anything except for a very old converter on the pddp site. Unfortunately the pd patches I converted with that don't work.

did you try : file / save as / max file ???

Gosh! I didn't know about that! Thank you very much! Unfortunately it doesn't work as expected... I get a weird patch with unidentified objects and above all wires connnected to nothing! Ok... let's do it manually :(

Stefano

P.S. when did pd start implementing that feature?

I think Pd came with that feature from the very beginning. the problem with the wiring might be, that all objects get a number when they are created and the wiring is done according to that number, so when max fails to create an object, the wires go to the next object, which was created successfully. also, as far as I remember, max and pd have different ways to deal with subpatches. so if you really want to convert, you should have abstractions for all objects, that do not exist in max (at least fake abstractions to keep the numbers of ins and outs) and copy the subpatches into the main patch. try it with a small patch... good luck. marius.
