highly-modular visual programming environment for interactive real-time
music. It was developed by the real-time team at IRCAM. It was quite
similar to PureData and Max. It was introduced (publicly) around 1997
and the last IRCAM version was in 2003. In August 2008 Maurizio De Cecco
and Enzo Maggi "decided to restart the development of jMax" . The name
jMax comes from the fact that it is written in Java language.
