Extend the power of Max
Experience a new paradigm in Max patching.

Create powerful Audio, Video, or Jitter Matrix objects without leaving the comfort of Max. Gen expands your ability to experiment, develop, and create in ways you’ve never imagined.

Visually develop efficient, platform-independent code that is compiled just when you want it. Watch and listen to the output as you build unique processes in the Gen patcher. Gen compiles the code instantly while you work. Refine your object by adding inputs and outputs, setting default values, and defining parameters. Gen objects rival built-in Max objects for power and performance, but there's one big difference: you can change them any time you want.

Generate Audio
Experience new audio possibilities with low-level tools and high-resolution audio.Realize new sounds and processes without having to learn a programming language. Single-sample feedback allows you to design custom filters, physical modelling, and FM synthesis structures that were previously impossible in MSP. With access to buffers and a collection of common oscillators and sample playback operators, you will have all the tools you need to build synthesizers, samplers, and audio effects. Gen even has its own 64-bit storage object that allows you to record and play back 64-bit audio, taking full advantage of the audio quality of Max 6.

Play your code with a MIDI controller as you develop it. Gen lets you visually patch together low-level operations that are instantly compiled into efficient audio objects. Create and prototype your own physical modeling processes, manipulate spectral data, access samples and more with the rich set of Gen audio objects.

Generate Visuals
Create custom Jitter operations with tools to distort, color, and manipulate video.Gen allows you to quickly patch together sophisticated image processes with a minimum of effort. By combining basic operations, you can create highly efficient Gen objects that process your video in unique ways. Build your own compositing effects to combine images, distort them using the sample object, and develop unique color enhancements.

With the power of today’s massively parallel graphics cards, Gen combines incredibly fast video processing and the flexibility of visual programming in Max. No other application provides the ease and flexibility of Gen with the efficiency and power of the GPU. Explore non-linear processing ideas that might be difficult to conceptualize in a text based language, and play with new ideas without having to ever leave Max. Gen isn’t just powerful, it’s also a lot of fun to experiment and create new ideas in real time.

Generate Operators
Process and generate Jitter Matrix data with your own Gen objects.

A Jitter Matrix can be used for all sorts of things, from audio data to geometrical coordinates. With the jit.gen object, Gen can be used to create custom objects that work with this data. Build custom particle systems, analyze Matrix data, or generate procedural OpenGL geometry with Gen. Combine simple mathematical operations into a single Gen patcher for improved performance in your patches. Create separate processes for each plane of the matrix within a single Gen patcher. With support for the lightweight GenExpr language, you can integrate text-based expressions and procedural code with visual patching to build your own Matrix manipulations.
