[edit_machine]

Is it possible to use a Max patch with max4live? I would like to use this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57QPXrlY ... re=related

but i only have max4live and the patch is for max? any way to use it or port it over easily?

I've managed to get quite a few working that i have found on the net or in the max/msp help files.
If you have M4L then down load a patch, open live and then open the correct m4l template, MIDI-AUDIO-INSTRUMENT
then bring max to the front and go to the file command in the tool bar.
Chose open and then navigate to the MAX patch you want to use.
Hit open and the patch will open in a white patching window.
Unlock it.
Hit patching mode.
Copy and paste it into the grey M4L patcher.
From here you will have to find the input and out put and then repatch these into what ever live input is being used.

I'm a very fresh noob, but this seems to work most of the time.

Q:
I have patches that I've made in the standalone version of Max. Can I use them in Max for Live?
A:
Yes, but they will need to be copied into Max for Live manually. To do this:

open the original patch in the standalone version of Max
copy the entire contents of the patch
open Live
load an empty Max Instrument, Max MIDI Effect or Max Audio Effect, depending on the type of device you're trying to make
click the empty device's Edit Button to open the Max patcher
paste the contents of the original patch into the patcher
You may need to modify the new device to take into consideration the pre-made input and output objects.

Best,
