Cycling '74 announced M version 2.6 which adds compatibility with Mac OS X. Originally released in the 1980s by Intelligent Music, M is an interactive composing and performing system that takes notes and chords the user specifies, and manipulates them to create musical compositions that unfold during live performance.

Musicians and composers were attracted to its powerful implementation of the idea of interactive composition, where the user shapes the music as they hear it unfold.

M 2.6 features compatibility with OS X Core MIDI so it can use it to power the many software synthesizers now available. With M's ability to act as a virtual source of MIDI for other applications, it can be easily used to control other software such as Ableton Live or software synths such as Reason. M can also be controlled by other sequencers via its Input Control System that maps MIDI notes to performance gestures such as muting voices, changing presets, and assigning variables.

Price and Availability

M 2.6 for OS X is available from Cycling '74 dealers worldwide and directly from Cycling '74's website. The MSRP is US$74. M 2.6 is a free update for owners of M 2.5.7 or later.
