I was even more shocked by the fact you can't (locally) upsample in SC, like 
you can in Pd with [block~]. But otherwise SC is great :-).

Betreff: Re: [PD] How's Max MSP limited? was Re: How's Pd limited?

som objects that you'd bet they'd have, but they don't (maybe externals). I 
could stop one day and list them all (I'm actually working on a table comparing 
objects in Pd x Max & SC).
 
I know pd vanilla lacks too much of anything, but if you're using extended, 
well, there's just a lot in it that max doesn't have. Actually, even some 
vanilla features (like the lack of a method to generate a table made of a sum 
of sines).
 
we were also talking about something like [vline~] in Pd vanilla, which is 
powerful for sample accurate triggering, but Max doesn't have it.
 
Oh, pd has no control rate limitation at all, it's what allows vline~ to 
achieve sub sample accuracy by the way. But Max's control rate is 2ms by 
default and goes only down to 1ms...
 
I also miss our dear friend [bang~] in max, the workaround to that is too ugly.
 
well, what other limitations? It doesn't run on linux or single board computers 
under 10$ like raspberry pi 0 - libpd also takes Pd to weird places, I foresse 
the day you might be able to run a pd patch in a toaster
 
Anyway, everything will have it's limitations. I bet there are tons of things 
you can do in SC that you can't do in Max or Pd. But I was shocked to learn you 
can't do any sub-block "subpatch" in SC without having to run the whole beast 
globally into a block of "1" sample (it probably won't allow it ever). 
 

that's why I believe so much in investing on a project like cyclone - I just 
miss some of those objects, and if I could just steal them - great! I also 
fantasize about cloning and stealing SC's very nice set of objects and bring 
them to Pd.
 
cheers

Alexandre,
 
Since I haven't used Max in a very long time, maybe you can explain. What are 
the surprising limitations you've discovered with Max MSP?
 
Sam

i think there's noyhing in gen that you cant do in pd, it has a small set
of objects, but i guess the deal is that it, somehow, makes it more
efficient, that's all.

i've started studying max/msp recently, and i've found many things lacking
in it, more than i would've thought, by the way.

cheers
