Max

Max is a visual programming language designed for artists, educators, and researchers to create custom interactive audio, visual, and multimedia experiences. It allows users to build complex systems by connecting objects with virtual patch cords. Max's architecture is centered around a real-time processing engine capable of handling audio (MSP), video (Jitter), and control data. Its modular design allows for the integration of external libraries and custom code in languages like Javascript. Use cases range from building custom synthesizers and effects processors to creating interactive installations and generative art systems. Max enables the creation of unique and performative digital instruments.
