<p><a href="Miller_Puckette" title="Miller Puckette">Miller Puckette</a> began work on Max in 1985, at the <a href="IRCAM" title="IRCAM">Institut de Recherche et Coordination Acoustique/Musique</a> (IRCAM) in <a href="Paris" title="Paris">Paris</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Originally called <i>The Patcher</i>, this first version provided composers with a graphical interface for creating interactive <a href="Computer_music" title="Computer music">computer music</a> scores on the <a href="Macintosh" class="mw-redirect" title="Macintosh">Macintosh</a>. At this point in its development Max couldn't perform its own real-time sound synthesis in software, but instead sent control messages to external hardware synthesizers and samplers using <a href="MIDI" title="MIDI">MIDI</a> or a similar <a href="Protocol_(computing)" class="mw-redirect" title="Protocol (computing)">protocol</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Its earliest widely recognized use in composition was for <i>Pluton</i>, a 1988 piano and computer piece by <a href="Philippe_Manoury" title="Philippe Manoury">Philippe Manoury</a>; the software synchronized a computer to a piano and controlled a <a href="Sogitec_4X" title="Sogitec 4X">Sogitec 4X</a> for audio processing.<sup id="cite_ref-pluton_7-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-pluton-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>In 1989, IRCAM developed <i>Max/FTS</i> ("Faster Than Sound"), a version of Max ported to the <a href="ISPW" title="ISPW">IRCAM Signal Processing Workstation</a> (ISPW) for the <a href="NeXT" title="NeXT">NeXT</a>. Also known as "Audio Max", it would prove a forerunner to Max's MSP audio extensions, adding the ability to do real-time synthesis using an internal hardware <a href="Digital_signal_processor" title="Digital signal processor">digital signal processor</a> (DSP) board.<sup id="cite_ref-ircam_history_8-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ircam_history-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-cycling_'74_history_9-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-cycling_'74_history-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In 1989, IRCAM worked with Joel Chadabe and Ben Austin of Intelligent Computer Music Systems to license the software for commercial sales in the United States. With the 1990 bankruptcy of Intelligent Computer Music Systems, both the <i>Max</i> Software and Ben Austin moved to <a href="Opcode_Systems" title="Opcode Systems">Opcode Systems</a>, which became the publisher of record for <i>Max</i>.<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="1990s">1990s</h3></div>
<p>Although Opcode launched its commercial version named <i>Max</i> in 1990, developed and extended by <a href="David_Zicarelli" class="mw-redirect" title="David Zicarelli">David Zicarelli</a>, the product was becoming a poor fit for Opcode, which was squarely towards commercial music production. Thus Zicarelli in 1997 acquired the publishing rights and founded a new company, Cycling '74, to continue commercial development.<sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-12" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-13" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The timing was fortunate, as Opcode was acquired by <a href="Gibson_Guitar_Corporation" class="mw-redirect" title="Gibson Guitar Corporation">Gibson Guitar</a> in 1998 and ended operations in 1999.<sup id="cite_ref-14" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>IRCAM's in-house Max development was also winding down; the last version produced there was <i>jMax</i>, a direct descendant of Max/FTS developed in 1998 for <a href="Silicon_Graphics" title="Silicon Graphics">Silicon Graphics</a> (SGI) and later for <a href="Linux" title="Linux">Linux</a> systems. It used Java for its graphical interface and C for its real-time backend, and was eventually released as <a href="Open-source_software" title="Open-source software">open-source software</a>.
</p>
<p>Meanwhile, Puckette had independently released a fully redesigned open-source composition tool named <i><a href="Pure_Data" title="Pure Data">Pure Data</a></i> (Pd) in 1996, which, despite some underlying engineering differences from the IRCAM versions, continued in the same tradition. Cycling '74's first Max release, in 1997, was derived partly from Puckette's work on Pure Data. Called <i>Max/MSP</i> ("Max Signal Processing", or the initials Miller Smith Puckette), it remains the most notable of Max's many extensions and incarnations: it made Max capable of manipulating real-time <a href="Digital_audio" title="Digital audio">digital audio</a> signals without dedicated DSP hardware. This meant that composers could now create their own complex synthesizers and effects processors using only a general-purpose computer like the Macintosh <a href="PowerBook_G3" title="PowerBook G3">PowerBook G3</a>.
</p><p>In 1999, the <a href="Netochka_Nezvanova_(author)" title="Netochka Nezvanova (author)">Netochka Nezvanova</a> collective released <i><a href="Nato.0%2B55%2B3d" title="Nato.0+55+3d">NATO.0+55+3d</a></i>, a suite of externals that added extensive real-time video control to Max.
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="2000s">2000s</h3></div>
<p>Though NATO.0+55+3d became increasingly popular among multimedia artists, its development stopped abruptly in 2001. <i><a href="SoftVNS" class="mw-redirect" title="SoftVNS">SoftVNS</a></i>, another set of extensions for visual processing in Max, was released in 2002 by Canadian media artist <a href="David_Rokeby" title="David Rokeby">David Rokeby</a>. Cycling '74 released their own set of video extensions, <i>Jitter</i>, alongside Max 4 in 2003, adding real-time video, <a href="OpenGL" title="OpenGL">OpenGL</a> graphics, and <a href="Matrix_(mathematics)" title="Matrix (mathematics)">matrix</a> processing capabilities. Max 4 was also the first version to run on <a href="Windows" class="mw-redirect" title="Windows">Windows</a>. Max 5, released in 2008, redesigned the patching GUI for the first time in Max's commercial history.
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="2010s">2010s</h3></div>
<p>In 2011, Max 6 added a new audio engine compatible with 64-bit operating systems, integration with <a href="Ableton_Live" title="Ableton Live">Ableton Live</a> sequencer software, and an extension called Gen, which can compile optimized Max patches for higher performance.<sup id="cite_ref-15" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-15"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>15<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Max 7 was released in 2014 and focused on 3D rendering improvements.<sup id="cite_ref-16" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-16"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>16<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<p>Max is named after composer <a href="Max_Mathews" title="Max Mathews">Max Mathews</a>, and can be considered a descendant of his <a href="MUSIC-N" title="MUSIC-N">MUSIC</a> language, though its graphical nature disguises that fact.<sup id="cite_ref-20" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-20"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>20<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Like most <a href="MUSIC-N" title="MUSIC-N">MUSIC-N</a> languages, Max distinguishes between two levels of time: that of an <i>event</i> scheduler, and that of the DSP (this corresponds to the distinction between k-rate and a-rate processes in <a href="Csound" title="Csound">Csound</a>, and control rate vs. audio rate in <a href="SuperCollider" title="SuperCollider">SuperCollider</a>).
</p><p>The basic language of Max and its sibling programs is that of a data-flow system: Max programs (named <i>patches</i>) are made by arranging and connecting building-blocks of <i>objects</i> within a <i>patcher</i>, or visual canvas. These objects act as self-contained programs (in reality, they are dynamically linked libraries), each of which may receive input (through one or more visual <i>inlets</i>), generate output (through visual <i>outlets</i>), or both. Objects pass messages from their outlets to the inlets of connected objects.
</p><p>Max supports six basic atomic data types that can be transmitted as messages from object to object: int, float, list, symbol, bang, and signal (for MSP audio connections). Several more complex data structures exist within the program for handling numeric arrays (<i>table</i> data), hash tables (<i>coll</i> data), XML information (<i>pattr</i> data), and JSON-based dictionaries (<i>dict</i> data). An MSP data structure (<i>buffer~</i>) can hold digital audio information within program memory. In addition, the Jitter package adds a scalable, multi-dimensional data structure for handling large sets of numbers for storing video and other datasets (<i>matrix</i> data).
</p><p>Max is typically learned through acquiring a vocabulary of objects and how they function within a patcher; for example, the <i>metro</i> object functions as a simple metronome, and the <i>random</i> object generates random integers. Most objects are non-graphical, consisting only of an object's name and several arguments-attributes (in essence class properties) typed into an <i>object box</i>. Other objects are graphical, including sliders, number boxes, dials, table editors, pull-down menus, buttons, and other objects for running the program interactively. Max/MSP/Jitter comes with about 600 of these objects as the standard package; extensions to the program can be written by third-party developers as Max patchers (e.g. by encapsulating some of the functionality of a patcher into a sub-program that is itself a Max patch), or as objects written in <a href="C_(programming_language)" title="C (programming language)">C</a>, <a href="C%2B%2B" title="C++">C++</a>, <a href="Java_(programming_language)" title="Java (programming language)">Java</a>, or <a href="JavaScript" title="JavaScript">JavaScript</a>.
</p><p>The order of execution for messages traversing through the graph of objects is defined by the visual organization of the objects in the patcher itself. As a result of this organizing principle, Max is unusual in that the program logic and the interface as presented to the user are typically related, though newer versions of Max provide several technologies for more standard GUI design.
</p><p>Max documents (named patchers) can be bundled into stand-alone applications and distributed free or sold commercially. In addition, Max can be used to author audio and MIDI <a href="Plug-in_(computing)" title="Plug-in (computing)">plugin</a> software for <a href="Ableton_Live" title="Ableton Live">Ableton Live</a> through the Max for Live extension.
</p><p>With the increased integration of <a href="Laptop" title="Laptop">laptop</a> computers into live music performance (in <a href="Electronic_music" title="Electronic music">electronic music</a> and elsewhere), Max/MSP and Max/Jitter have received attention as a development environment available to those serious about laptop music/video performance. Programs sharing Max's visual programming concepts are now commonly used for real-time audio and video synthesis and processing.
