About Max and Nato

Cycling '74 Max is a multimedia visual programming language capable of handling sound and graphics, with a history of more than 20 years since its development.
And Nato.0+55+3d is a third-party program which enables real-time image processing of Max. It was released and updated in 1999 and 2000.

As shown in Figure 3, this kind of development is unique in that a program is created by connecting objects together with a line known as a patch cord. On the control screen in Figure 4, the values of switches and parameters can be changed to manipulate the image.

In 2003, Max started to rely on Jitter for visual processing, and continues to do so to this day (the most recent version is Max7).
