Résumé |
Since its introduction, the 'Max' programming language and real-time environment has had a
continue evolution: it was separated from its computational engine (the FTS system), it evolved
into a full featured industrial product (Max IRCAM/OpCode) and experienced a constant growth
of its external modules library. From the beginning, Max had an object-oriented approach to the
description of computations (patches) and to the extension of the system through external
modules. Now, the Max paradigm is evolving again into a system that is capable of dealing with
complex and more rich types of intercommunications, such as the ability of being a "part" into a
compound document, and at the same time to communicate with fast real-time engines such as
FTS.
