Mira discovers the Max 'server' automatically and several iPads can apparently connect to the same patch at once.

I had a few crashes when trying to use my LinkSys router (already fixed as I write this), and some routers might be configured to block the connection, but an ad-hoc network on my MacBook Pro worked fine.

Setup is simple: you have to download some additional files for Max itself (OS X only at this stage Windows versions are apparently forthcoming), but the Mira app provides a usage tutorial. Unfortunately, bpatchers are not yet supported, so nested sets of controls won't be displayed, making complex interface designs difficult. At present, only a subset of Max's graphical objects are supported (they're labelled with a special icon in Max) it's likely that more will be added over time, but I suspect that exotic ones like Jitter and JavaScript frames might not make the cut. Object attributes in Max (colour, transparency, font and so on) are reflected pretty faithfully, and positioning and alignment seem accurate, except for some of the wackier font styles and sizes. Most objects look pretty much identical in Max and Mira, but some (such as sliders) have been redesigned for the iPad. Mira is fast and responsive, although the resolution for number boxes is a little too fine to set values accurately. You can touch-and-drag several dials or sliders at once, while the multislider accepts multi-touch directly, and the piano keyboard object is truly polyphonic. Mira isn't providing a virtual screen (and mouse) into the patch: all the Mira controls are running natively on the iPad, and multi-touch is supported. You can only edit the patch in Max itself, but changes appear on the iPad immediately. Mira takes a rectangular area of a Max patch and mirrors it on the iPad: buttons, dials and sliders in the patch appear on the iPad, and changes to the controls are reflected in Max and in Mira simultaneously. There's no separate interface design involved, and very little configuration. Max users are already assembling interfaces in Max itself, so why do it a second time on the iPad?
However, these apps require a degree of configuration - OSC message names, MIDI controller and channel numbers - and if you want to design your own interface, it can be a fiddly and time-consuming process. Mira certainly isn't the first app capable of controlling Max: on my iPad, I have TouchOSC, Mrmr, Konkreet Performer and Lemur, all of which are capable of turning multitouch gestures into OSC (Open Sound Control) and (in most cases) MIDI. Making a Mira patch, and the finished product. Max is widely used for performance and installation work, so there's an obvious opportunity for an iPad-capable, touch-sensitive interface for controlling Max patches.

Mira is the first incursion into the iPad app world from Cycling '74, the makers of the popular Max graphical software toolkit for audio and media applications on Mac and PC. Removed reading/grabbing of images, encountered too much crashes.Published September 2013 Cycling '74 Mira caf format, which unfortunately can't be read by Max convert74, this application converts v1.4 presets into v1.5 presets button object now returns or instead of. message to set polling frequency for accelerometer data - flashlight support via the message (experimental stage.) gyroscope attribute, including message to set polling frequency Fonts and colors are now stored within presets. iPad now works properly in landscape mode (beyond 720px).
Deleting/closing the c74 external now disconnects the iOS app properly.

IMPORTANT : have a look at the manual at The external features some nice attributes for receiving accelerometer, GPS, compass, shake gesture and proximity data. In order to connect this app to Max please download the free external from : Ĭustom controller interfaces are built straight from within Max, presets can be stored etc. Therefore we can have the interface adapt to the tasks it has to perform in real-time. The massive improvement over existing interface layout apps is that the layout is dynamically controlled by Max. C74 is an iPhone / iPod Touch app that let's you connect your device with Cycling '74's Max/MSP 5/6.
