Nr74 has announced the release of c74, an iPhone / iPod Touch app that let's you connect your device with Cycling '74's Max/MSP 5.


The massive improvement over existing interface layout apps is that the layout is dynamically controlled by Max. Therefore the interface adapts to the tasks it has to perform in real-time.

Custom controller interfaces are built straight from within Max, presets can be stored etc. The external features some nice attributes for receiving accelerometer, GPS, compass, shake gesture and proximity data.

Communication between the apps does not rely on OSC (OpenSoundControl) but instead uses a straight forward communication socket, which offers a reliable connection.

c74 is available now for $3.99.
