Even if you haven’t heard of JUCE, chances are you’ve used it without knowing. It is an environment in which you can build plug-ins, music software and more, and is perhaps best known as the environment in which Cycling 74’s Max MSP is built and runs. It’s ever present in the background of a lot of audio software. The summit brought together key technologists in the music industry, and it was a pleasure and an honour to have a RAPID MIX presence amongst them
Mick spoke between David Zicarelli (from Cycling 74) and Andrew Bell (Cinder), presenting his C++ audio DSP engine Maximilian, describing how it integrates with JUCE, Cinder, Open Frameworks and other tools. Maximilian is an incredibly powerful, lightweight audio engine which will form a key part of the RAPID API we will be launching soon.

JUCE is now owned by RAPID-MIX partners ROLI, and we’re excited about future developments involving RAPID-MIX, Juce and the creative music industry partners present at the summit. Stay tuned for more news!
