This article is about the audio format. For other "MAX" formats, see MAX.

Max is a commercial visual programming language produced by Cycling '74. It is a data-flow programming language that uses "objects" connected by wires. In the tradition of modular synthesizers, Max files are often known as "patches."

[edit] Identifying Max patch files

The extensions are .max (up to Max 4) and .maxpat (Max 5+). Max 5 patches are not backward compatible.

.maxpat files are plain-text JSON files. There doesn't seem to be any documentation for .maxpat files, but they are more or less readable.

[edit] Other

Max software can also produce .maxhelp, .maxquery, .maxproto, .maxdefaults, .maxdefines, .maxpref, .maxswatches, .maxpresets, .maxclip files.
