Max (macOS and Windows)
While arc’s compatibility and potential with Max remains current, computing has changed quite a bit over the last decade and a half. Therefore, the projects contained in this section may have different levels of stability as OS and host application updates introduce breaking changes.
Max can be downloaded and run for free, without a license (a license is required to save your changes, however). In the section below, you’ll also find many Max for Live devices, which can be run in Max for free (just drag the .amxd file directly into a patcher) or within Ableton’s Live Suite (or using Ableton’s Max for Live add-on).
