Jeez! Those Max objects are so specific! I really have the same feeling 
about them as I have for a lot of fancy VST plugins: it takes the fun 
out of coming up with a unique effect yourself.

Really, though, there is no need to port.

I think this effect could very easily be done with an abstraction built 
with a minimum number of basic, low-level objects. It would contain two 
arrays, where the first would write incoming sound, which could be then 
passed to the second array, where it could be played back. The main 
things to know are how long each buffer is. The size of the first would 
determine the length of your "history", and the length of the second is 
useful to know so you can control the playback rate. The playback buffer 
could be "cycled" using a [phasor] in the same way that is used in most 
of the "sampler" patches in the audio examples of PD. See also 
[tabwrite], [tabread4~], etc.

best,
d.
