The new Max 9 from Cycling ’74 brings an impressive collection of new features and tools to music and image editing. This version integrates audio objects from Ableton’s ABL library, giving you access to effects like distortion and reverb in the style of Ableton Live’s Roar or Reverb, turning Max into a versatile, modular music tool. So now we have “Live For Max… for Live” – brilliant!
Max 9: Improved Coding and Patching for Maximum Flexibility
Code integration in patches is especially exciting in the new Max 9 release: the new Javascript V8 engine offers more modern features and higher speed, which should encourage even newcomers to the world of media programming to use Javascript in patching.
Max 9 Improves Visuals with Jitter Geometry
Another highlight is the major Jitter update. Max 9 adds geometric objects to the existing Jitter matrix, making it easier to work with 3D data and providing greater creative freedom in image and video editing. New features include an FX library that enables real-time image adjustment, distortion, and shading for intuitive visual effects. In addition, enhanced UI objects and 3D widgets expand the control and display options for sophisticated visualizations.
Sound Design with Ableton-based DSP Objects
For musicians and music producers, Max 9 offers significant improvements in real-time control, with the ability to link object parameters through the UI without the need for patch cables. What’s more, OSC integration can now be customized directly from within the program, making it easy to control and manipulate parameters in real time.
The redesigned interface also makes patching more efficient. Features such as syntax coloring for code overview and a list view for object management make working in Max 9 much easier. A global record feature ensures that ideas are never lost, while a command-line option in the Max view allows code commands to be executed directly in the patch.
In addition, tutorials and an intuitive REPL command-line interface make it easy for beginners and advanced users alike to get started and use the software. Visit the Cycling ’74 website to learn more about the platform’s innovations and enhancements. Max 9 sets new standards for creative workflows in music, image editing and video, and proves to be a flexible and versatile tool for today’s creative audio and video producers.
