Introducing a new version of Max that is more direct, more transparent, and full of inspiring new features that will spark your curiosity. Max 9 brings a new collection of audio objects based on Ableton's ABL library, the biggest Jitter update in years, interface improvements, reinvented coding workflows - and much more.

The ABL Objects

Ableton Sound for Max

We're excited to offer a suite of Max objects created with Ableton's ABL library for DSP. These objects offer a patchable interface to the internal workings of some of Ableton Live Suite's most popular devices. Whether you're looking to explore some wild distortion effects (abl.device.roar~) or dreamy reverbs (abl.dsp.shimmer~), the ABL library has got you covered.

Patching with Code

Patching in Max is even more powerful when you integrate text-based code. Max 9 presents a new vision of code integration with patching - including a fully reinvented, fast and modern Javascript V8 engine. Even if you've never tried integrating Javascript and Max, you'll definitely want to check out what is possible.

Codebox Everywhere

Stay in the flow with codebox, which enables direct text-based coding alongside visual patching. Codebox variants provide support for JS (v8), Gen (gen, gen~, jit.gl.pix, jit.gen), and Node for Max, as well as dictionary and coll editing and OSC display.

New V8 Objects for JS

To access the new performance and compatibility features of Javascript V8 in Max, we've introduced the v8, v8ui, and v8.codebox objects. With these new objects, you can make use of more modern (ES6+) language features like arrow functions and typed arrays, and in many cases enjoy a big speed improvement over the standard js object.
