Product description Which DAW is Right for You? Read More Cycling '74 Max 8 is a visual programming software designed for the specialized needs of artists, educators, and researchers working with audio, visual media, and physical computing. The software connects objects with virtual patch cords to create interactive sounds, graphics, and custom effects.Max 8 is focused on providing an improved performance over earlier versions of the software. It launches and loads files noticeably faster and has a more responsive user interface. The new MC feature allows objects and patch cords to contain multiple audio channels, great for applying controls across a space of 100+ audio channels with only one MSP (Max Signal Processing) object and one multichannel patch cord.Also included is an easy-to-use MIDI mapping system, which enables you to control your patches via MIDI hardware controllers such as keyboards, pads, and more. Vizzie 2 comes with a collection of 80 modules to help you quickly create interactive videos, 3D/2D vector graphics, and effects using the included Jitter software.Max 8 continues to offer the MSP sonic tool kit to program your own synths and delays, as well as BEAP synth and sound modules for creating sounds inspired by classic analog synthesizers. Note: This product is an educational discounted version available to qualified students and faculty/staff of accredited academic institutions only. Proof of current educational status is required. This is an upgrade available to owners of the previous Academic version of the software. What's New in Max 8 - MC Objects
