So we´ve to compare PD with Max and then will decide for the better one...

I prefer PD, so i need some Arguments for PD... Why PD and non Max?

My Arguments are:


* In PD you can easily write own Objects in PD (With C/C++ --> Is
that in Max as possible like in PD ???

Yes, see:

Apart from that, Pd is free and also runs on linux.


It turns out that the Max/MSP and PD APIs are very close, so you can write/port externals for both without too much effort.

- Pd is very portable and flexible and you can run it on many platforms:
GNU/Linux
Mac OS X
Windows
iPhoneOS
Android
Maemo
on any embedded Linux-based system
on hardware DSP chips
integer-only mobile CPUs (PDa)

- The MSP part of Max/MSP is built using the sources from Pd (see the startup screen on Max/MSP).

- you can make highly-optimized builds for your own CPU.

- its embeddable into other programming languages (libpd):
C/C++
OpenFrameworks
Java

Any many more, depends really on what you want to do.
