Max 是一个用于音乐、音频和多媒体的图形环境。二十多年来，Max 一直被表演者、作曲家、艺术家、科学家、教师和学生使用，它是让你的计算机执行反映你个人想法和梦想的操作的方法。

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
连接拨号盘和滑块等 UI 对象以提供控制值或显示结果。调制、映射和缩放数据以获得合适的结果。

即时创建围绕你构建的软件
• 拖入你自己的音频片段并开始操作它们并连接效果
• 随时使用 MIDI 控制器映射你的补丁程序，以便在工作时开始播放你的创作

Extended Creativity
Max 补丁从空白画布开始，没有任何结构。这使得构建和探索在其他地方因太复杂而无法实现的独特创意变得自然。 Max patcher 会自动扩展以适应您的工作，无论您占用多少空间。

Explore sounds without limits
• 设计一个自定义合成器，其中包含任意数量的振荡器和效果器。
• 以各种方式处理样本，包括时间拉伸和音高变化。
- Use the MC object to build more layered sounds to patch multichannel audio.

Making sounds with gestures

OBJECTS
Each object does something. Max has objects that generate sound waves, represent hardware, or provide a UI for interaction.

PATCHCORDS
Patchcords connect one object to another. This connection lets objects share their output with connected objects.

CONTROL
Connect UI objects like dials and sliders to provide control values or display results. Modulate, map and scale data to get just the right results.

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
