[flext] Flext and jMax

[Maurizio De Cecco]

Hallo,

i am the current jMax Phoenix developer and maintainer, and i am wondering if
the flext community would be interested in adapting (or helping me adapting) flext to work also with jMax.

It shouldn't be an enormous work, because i am developing a source level
compatibility layer on top of jMax to compile puredata object sources for jMax (subject to a number of
reasonable limitations).

As of today, i know almost nothing about flext; to start, can anybody tell me
how the border between flext and pd/MAX works ? Using macros, or a mapping software layer of some kind
?

On the jMax side it wouldn't be a problem to adapts things to make this easier,
like adding a dedicated object loader or similar facilities.

PS: for those who do not know: jMax was an internal project in Ircam designed
to be the next generation Max for Ircam needs. It was released under a free licence in 1999 and the project
stopped a couple of years later.
I was a member of the original developers team, i left Ircam for mandrakesoft
in 1999. A couple of years ago i decided to restart the development of jMax under the jMax Phoenix name, for
my coding fun.

Audio Conference 2009 proceedings.
