    Edit






    Mastering the real-time tools makes it possible to imagine multiple interactions between machine and musicians, dancers, actors, and the audience as stage performances or installations, combining sound, visual, multimedia, and virtual reality elements in a sole environment.

    Users program interactive real-time MIDI and audio applications with Max.  Max for Live lets the numerous fans of Ableton’s software for electro musicians and DJs hear possibilities for live performances.
