Hey Erik ;)
Strictly Max/MSP/Jitter is a much more encompassing environment than SuperCollider and ChucK, which focus on audio. The advantage of Max is that it combines a great control language with audio programming, a great video matrix library and a dataflow OpenGL API. Generally there are many more 3rd party contributions to Max/MSP than any of the other media programming frameworks with the exception of perhaps vvvv (which is video centric).
That said, the nice thing about all of these environments is that they heavily integrate OSC messaging, which allows you to mix and match anything together. People often combine openFrameworks/Cinder and SuperCollider for instance.
- erikschoster 15y agoI suppose Jitter is a big honking extra option, yeah. :-) I read the original comment as suggesting that SuperCollider was somehow lacking in flexibility compared to Max/MSP, which isn't true. They're all excellent tools with different approaches.
