Cycling '74 Perspectives & Interviews
The Cycling '74 (C74)
Max
page describes Max as a "A Playground for Invention" that allows you
to "Explore Sound without Limits." You can "build classic synths from
scratch," "Make Sound with a Gesture," and "Make Visual Music." Max is "an
infinitely flexible space to create your own interactive software," that
allows you to quickly "Prototype and Evaluate" your ideas. You can use Max
to compose algorithmic music, build a generative installation, design a
digital instrument, process live music and video in real time, improvise,
run stage shows, and more. In a nutshell, Max can "Connect to Anything."
