MAX/MSP and Jitter for Mac OS X to Ship Soon

Cycling '74 has announced of OSX versions of the interactive graphical programming environment Max, The MSP collection of audio signal processing objects, and the Jitter extensions for video, 3d graphics, and matrix-based data processing.

"We are excited about having MAX/MSP and Jitter leverage the advanced technologies within Apple's super-modern operating system, Mac OS X," commented Cycling '74 CEO, David Zicarelli. "Mac OS X features Core Audio, Audio Units, Quartz, Java, QuickTime 6, symmetric multiprocessing, and hardware support that provides opportunities for further evolution of MAX/MSP and Jitter that was not possible in OS 9."

Max has been the premiere environment for the development of interactive media and live performance applications for more than a decade. Max lets you build programs (called "patches") by connecting graphical objects together. Some objects perform calculations and others make up the user interface of your program. MSP adds a large set of objects that you connect together to make audio patches where signals flow from one object to the next, and the Jitter collection of objects lets you create video or 3D graphics patches or work with any matrix-based data.MAX/MSP takes advantage of Mac OS X's Core Audio and Core MIDI, which makes the use of multiple I/O audio interfaces straightforward and renders OMS and ASIO unnecessary.

Pricing and availability: Max, MSP, and Jitter will be available by the end of January. Max has a suggested retail price of $295, Max/MSP has a suggested retail price of $495, and Max/MSP/Jitter has a suggested retail prices of $850. OS X versions of all three software packages are available to users of Max/MSP 4.0 and Jitter 1.0 and higher as free updates.
