Max是一个用于音乐、音频和多媒体的图形环境。Max已经被表演者、作曲家、艺术家、科学家、教师和学生使用了二十多年，它是让你的电脑做反映你个人想法和梦想的事情的方法。
Max是一个无限灵活的空间，可以创建自己的交互式软件。将想法联系在一起创造！
物体
每个物体都有作用。Max具有生成声波、表示硬件或提供交互UI的对象。
补丁
跳线将一个对象连接到另一个对象。此连接允许对象与连接的对象共享其输出。
控制
连接拨号盘和滑块等UI对象，以提供控制值或显示结果。对数据进行调制、映射和缩放，以获得正确的结果。
即时创建围绕您构建的软件
•拖动自己的音频片段，开始操纵它们并连接效果
•在工作时开始播放您的作品时，用MIDI控制器映射您的补丁程序
扩展的想法
最大修补从空白画布开始，没有任何结构。这使得构建和探索其他地方无法实现的独特想法变得很自然。Max修补程序会自动扩展以适应您的工作，无论您占用多少空间。
探索无限的声音
•设计一个定制的合成器，可以根据需要使用尽可能多的振荡器和效果。
•以各种方式操纵样本，包括时间序列和音调转换。
•使用MC对象来修补多通道音频，从而构建更分层的声音。
用手势发出声音
在Max中，你可以从头开始构建经典合成器，也可以在破解不寻常的声音时迷失方向。尝试下面的XY控件，听听你可以用Max创建的一些声音。
•只需一个振荡器和一个滤波器，你就可以做很多事情。
•添加一些额外的调制，尝试一些更狂野的东西。
制作视觉音乐
Max包括功能齐全、可扩展的视频和图形工具以及Jitter。Jitter针对实时视听工作进行了优化，并且很容易与Max中的其他内容一样与音频、排序和调制相结合。
带Max走进世界
Max提供了将您的计算机连接到外部世界或将许多计算机连接在一起的工具。随着对不断扩展的硬件和通信列表的支持，Max已准备好与一切对话。
原型和评估
对硬件的灵活访问使Max成为原型制作的完美环境。将您的开发板连接到Max，即可立即访问传感器、旋钮和开关。在开发交互时查看数据流。
无数的商业产品、艺术装置和舞台表演都依赖于Max将其过程的所有部分粘合在一起。
生成音频、视频、代码
使用Gen将音频、矩阵数据或纹理处理的微调过程拼接在一起。Gen允许您将过程命令与可视化修补相结合，以简化自定义流程的创建。
Gen对象还可以输出源代码，以便在需要时在其他地方使用。
扩展最大值
Max的内置包管理器可立即访问50多个插件，涵盖从计算机视觉到支持硬件控制器（包括Novation、Monome和ROLI控制器）的所有内容。
如果你想要的功能在Max中不存在，那么很可能是社区中有人创建了它。如果他们没有，你可以使用C++、NodeJS、Java或javascript自己扩展Max。

Max is a graphical environment for music, audio, and multimedia. In use for over twenty years by performers, composers, artists, scientists, teachers, and students, Max is the way to make your computer do things that reflect your individual ideas and dreams.
Max is an infinitely flexible space to create your own interactive software. Connect Ideas Together to Create!
OBJECTS
Each object does something. Max has objects that generate sound waves, represent hardware, or provide a UI for interaction.
PATCHCORDS
Patchcords connect one object to another. This connection lets objects share their output with connected objects.
CONTROL
Connect UI objects like dials and sliders to provide control values or display results. Modulate, map and scale data to get just the right results.
Create Software Built Around You, In the Moment
• Drag in your own audio clips and start manipulating them and connecting effects
• Map your patcher with MIDI controllers as you go to start playing with your creation while you work
Expanded Ideas
Max patching starts on a blank canvas, free of any structure. This makes it natural to build and explore unique ideas that would be too complex to make elsewhere. The Max patcher automatically expands to fit your work as it grows, no matter how much space you take up.
Explore Sound without Limits
• Design a custom synthesizer with as many oscillators and effects as you wish.
• Manipulate samples in every way, including timestretch and pitch shifting.
• Build up more layered sounds using MC objects to patch multichannel audio.
Make Sound with a Gesture
In Max, you can build classic synths from scratch or get lost hacking together unusual sounds. Try the XY controls below to hear some sounds you could create with Max.
• You can do a lot with just a single oscillator and a filter.
• Add some extra modulation and try something a little more wild.
Make Visual Music
Max includes full-featured, expandable video and graphics tools with Jitter. Jitter is optimized for realtime audiovisual work, and is easy to combine with audio, sequencing, and modulation like everything else in Max.
Take Max into the World
Max provides the tools to connect your computer to the external world, or connect many computers together. With support for a constantly expanding list of hardware and communications, Max is ready to talk to everything.
Prototype and Evaluate
Flexible access to hardware makes Max a perfect environment for prototyping. Connect your development board to Max and get instant access to sensors, knobs, and switches. Watch the data stream in as you develop the interaction.
Countless commercial products, art installations, and stage shows have relied on Max to glue together all the parts of their process.
Generate Audio, Video, Code
Use Gen to patch together fine-tuned processes for audio, matrix data, or texture processing. Gen lets you combine procedural commands with visual patching to simplify the creation of custom processes.
Gen objects can also output source code to be used elsewhere if needed.
Extended Max
Max's built-in Package Manager offers immediate access to over 50 add-ons covering everything from computer vision to support for hardware controllers including Novation, Monome and ROLI controllers.
If the feature you want doesn't exist in Max, chances are someone in the community has created it. And if they haven't, you can extend Max yourself using C++, NodeJS, Java, or javascript.
