Installation method:Installation and repair.

Max is a graphical environment for music, audio and multimedia. Used by performers, composers, artists, scientists, teachers, and students for more than two decades, Max is a way for your computer to reflect your personal ideas and dreams.

Max is an infinitely flexible space for creating your own interactive software. Connect ideas together to create!

boyfriend
Each object has its own function. max has objects that generate sound waves, represent hardware, or provide interactive UI.

jumper
A jumper connects one object to another. This connection allows the object to share its output with the connected object.

containment
Connect UI objects such as dials and sliders to provide control values or display results. Modulate, map, and scale data to get the right results.

Instantly create software built around you
- Drag in your own audio clips and start manipulating them and connecting the effects
- Map your patches with a MIDI controller to start playing your creations while you work!

Expanded Ideas
Max patches start from a blank canvas with no structure. This makes it natural to build and explore unique ideas that would be too complex to realize elsewhere. Max Patch automatically scales to fit your work as it grows, no matter how much space you take up.

Explore sounds without limits
- Design a custom synthesizer with any number of oscillators and effects.
- Manipulate samples in a variety of ways, including time stretching and pitch changes.
- Use the MC object to build more layered sounds to patch multichannel audio.

Making sounds with gestures
In Max, you can build classic synthesizers from scratch or get lost in piecing together unusual sounds. Try the XY controls below to hear some of the sounds you can create with Max.
- You can do a lot with just an oscillator and a filter.
- Add some extra modulation and try something a little crazier.

Production of visual music
Max includes full-featured, scalable video and graphics tools with Jitter, which is optimized for real-time audiovisual work and is as easy to integrate with audio, sequencing, and modulation as everything else in Max.

Bringing Max to the World
Max provides the tools to connect your computer to the outside world or to link multiple computers together. With support for an ever-expanding list of hardware and communications, Max is ready to communicate with everything.

Prototyping and evaluation
Flexible access to hardware makes Max the ideal environment for prototyping. Connect your development board to Max and instantly access sensors, knobs, and switches. Observe data flow as you develop interactions.
Countless commercial products, art installations and stage performances rely on Max to hold all parts of their process together.

Generate audio, video, code
Use Gen to piece together finely tuned audio, matrix data, or texturing processes.Gen lets you combine procedural commands with visual patching to simplify the creation of custom processes.
Gen objects can also export source code for use elsewhere if needed.

Extension Max
Max's built-in package manager provides instant access to more than 50 add-ons covering everything from computer vision to support for hardware controllers, including Novation, Monome and ROLI controllers.
If the feature you want doesn't exist in Max, it's likely that someone in the community has already created it. If they haven't, you can extend Max yourself using C++, NodeJS, Java, or javascript.

CONTROL

Create Software Built Around You, In the Moment
- Drag in your own audio clips and start manipulating them and connecting effects
- Map your patcher with MIDI controllers as you go to start playing with your creation while you work

Expanded Ideas
Max patching starts on a blank canvas, free of any structure. This makes it natural to build and explore unique ideas that would be too complex to make elsewhere. The Max patcher automatically expands to fit your work as it grows, no matter how much space you take up.

Explore Sound without Limits
- Design a custom synthesizer with as many oscillators and effects as you wish.
- Manipulate samples in every way, including timestretch and pitch shifting.
- Build up more layered sounds using MC objects to patch multichannel audio.

Make Sound with a Gesture
In Max, you can build classic synths from scratch or get lost hacking together unusual sounds. Try the XY controls below to hear some sounds you could create with Max.
- You can do a lot with just a single oscillator and a filter.
- Add some extra modulation and try something a little more wild.
