Publisher review:Max gives you all the tools to create your own music, sound, video, and interactive media applications. You can arrange boxes on a canvas and connect them together to create, experiment, and play.
Sound, video, control data, and electronics are all just numbers to the computer. With Max you decide what to do with those numbers. Connect sound volume to video, or track the position of objects in a video to control music.
A lot of Max projects start out simple, with an idea, but continue to grow. Using a patch or performing with it will give you new ideas. You can always add another feature you dreamed up on the way to the show. Copy and paste a new idea from the Max forums and hook it up.
Max provides you with ample support and assistance for its hundreds of objects that do everything from generating sound to physics simulation and hardware interfacing. With a fully functional help file for each Max object, advanced auto-completion, a reference sidebar, in-application tutorials and documentation browser, you are never far from the information you need.
Operating system:Mac OS X 10.5 or later
