Cyclone is a library of PureData classes, bringing some level of compatibility between Max/MSP and Pd environments. The original goal of cyclone was to create a collection of Max/MSP objects for PureData. This was in the 2000s area, Max/MSP version 4.6. Since then MAX evolved its architecture and file format to something that is incompatible with PureData. Compatibility in patch file level is limited to this very old version of Max/MSP.
