Maxpat versus Maxb Files?

    I'm in the middle of converting over the monome base v4.4 to serialosc (I already had a bunch of them complete because I use them a lot).

    The only question I have is that monome base 4.4 has almost all of it's files saved in the .maxb format. What's the deal with that? Can I proceed to use the (presumably) newer .maxpat format or is that somehow limiting to some users.

    To have serialosc I have to include that .maxpat anyways, so is there a reason to mix file formats?

    Thanks for your opinions. It'll be done soon (today?), tested them all thoroughly and no new bugs that weren't there as far as I can tell.

    perhaps the file was saved with an older version of max/msp?

    .maxb is max 4.
    just save them as .maxpat.

    however any bpatchers will have to be updated to point to right file.

    That's what I've come to figure, is that .mxb is just the Max 4 default naming. I'm calling them all .maxpat and it should be good.

    Yeah thats the fun I've been having in programming these. I go in, change all the file paths that are for bpatchers and then I start looking at the logic for the OSC routing.
