New update features support kiosk usage and the live.meter~ object. Mira is the best companion app for Max by Cycling '74. Instantly create an interface to your patch.

Mira Controller is the perfect companion app for Max by Cycling ‘74. Whatever you build in Max, you’ll see the results immediately in Mira. Work with a wide selection of Max UI objects including multislider, meter~ and umenu. Also supports the mira.multitouch object, which receives multiple touches and handles taps, swipes, pinches and rotations, as well as mira.motion, which receives accelerometer data. You can also work with Ableton Live specific objects like live.grid and live.meter~, so you can design a custom iPad interface for your Max for Live device. Whether you connect via Wifi or USB, connect to Max with no setup or network configuration.

Mira gives you lots of options to build the perfect interface. Just drop a mira.frame object into your Max patch for each region that you’d like to see on your iPad. You can choose whether you’d like to view objects as they would appear in patching or presentation mode. New in the latest version, you can also have Mira connect to Max as soon as it launches. This makes Mira ideal for use in installations or as part of a museum display.

Mira controls any number of Max patches on any number of computers. You can also use multiple copies of Mira to control a single patch. Any instance of mira.frame can be controlled with the Mira iOS app, or from a web site using Miraweb.
