Hi, I ported some pd externals to Max using flext. Do you think they would be useful? Otherwise look at the flext tutorial: there you'll find several examples of flext-based externals corresponding to some of the pd externals supplied with the HOWTO for pd (http://iem.at/pd/externals-HOWTO/).

Hi, IMO flext makes externals programming really straightforward (compared to plain pd externals programming at least): everything is clearer and the code is far more readable. Once learned how to use it, the porting of my pd externals has been straightforward and fast. Definitely worth learning

If you want to move an external from MaxMSP to MaxMSP/Pd, I developed another approach which is far less elegant than Thomas Grill's flext, but may be easier when you are starting with an existing MaxMSP code base. The basic idea is to use #ifdefs at the few places where MaxMSP and Pd

The problem is that we are trying to get a Max/MSP external ported into flext, not directly to Pd (but obviously flext version would work fine for both Pd and Max). In this scenario dealing with something that is done the other way around is not as helpful for a newcomer to the flext. Also,

Hi all, Does anyone know of a simple external port example from Max/MSP into flext/Pd? It seems that this is not a very common route so I am looking for some preferably simple external for my student to be able to compare code in order to learn more about the process and ultimately figure out

I am aware of that but we are in a situation where we wish to port a Max/MSP external to PD and are opting to going with flext because if we do this, then the original maintainers won't have to deal with two different code bases and as such are more likely to opt for maintaining flext port
