Cycling '74 Max v8.5.0

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.

• You can do a lot with just a single oscillator and a filter.
