Cycling’74已经发布了Max的第八版，该公司称其为“最接近于Max所服用过的益智药物”。
这种可视化编程语言在最新版本中进行了大量新的改进，最引人注目的是引入了新的MC.对象。
MC，我们假设，代表多声道和循环’ 74确信它将“改变你对声音设计的想象”。它使得带有100个音频通道的补丁看起来和那些只有一个通道的补丁一样简单。
似乎MC将使您能够使用更少的对象操作多个音频通道和操作。
版本8中的大部分开发都集中在性能上。Cycling ‘ 74现在声称Max在Windows上的启动速度比以前快20倍，加载补丁的速度比以前快4倍。整体性能得到了改善，复杂的UI操作的响应速度明显提高。
另一个重要的更新是可以用硬件控制补丁，而不需要打补丁。在新的映射模式中，您可以在三个步骤中分配物理控制补丁;简单地进入映射模式，选择一个滑块，然后移动你的控制器-完成。
其他改进包括一个新的搜索侧边栏，允许您访问Max附带的数千个Max示例和教程，以及来自网络论坛和深入文章的结果。
Cycling ‘74 has released version 8 of Max and the company is calling it “the closest thing to a mind-expanding drug Max has ever had”.
The visual programming language has taken on a raft of new improvements in the latest iteration, most notably the introduction of the new MC. objects.
MC, we’re presuming, stands for multi-channel and Cycling ‘74 is sure it will “transform how you imagine sound design”. It makes patches with 100 channels of audio look as simple as those with a single channel.
It seems MC will give you the ability to manipulate multiple audio channels and operations with fewer objects.
Much of the development in version 8 has been focussing on performance. Cycling ’74 now claim that Max will launch 20 times faster on Windows than before and load patches up to four times as quick. Performance as a whole is improved, with complex UI operations being significantly more responsive.
Another big update is the ability to control your patches with hardware, without the need to patch. In the new Mappings Mode, you can assign physical controls to your patch in just three steps; simply enter Mappings Mode, select a slider and then move your controller – done.
Other improvements include a new Search Sidebar which allows you access to thousands of Max examples and tutorials that ship with Max, along with results from web forums and in-depth articles.
