Max was developed at IRCAM for NeXT and SGI (I think) and named for Max Matthews (of Bell Labs). Opcode licensed a version for the Mac, and sells it for US$495. The Mac version is pretty much what everyone uses. It's good for manipulating MIDI any way you want, but don't try using it as a standard sequencer. There is another program called MSP by cycling74 that uses MAX for digital audio. The whole thing has a non-intuitive patch cord interface that go between opcodes, Opcodes can be written and added by anyone in C - and there are tons of them that do pretty much anything.
