Hey PH, Tamas here, solo maker (and Ableton nerd). maxforlive.com is an amazing catalog of Max for Live devices, but actually FINDING the right one - the specific granular delay, the utility MIDI generator - is rough. So I built max4.live: a fast, fuzzy, filterable search over the same 8,891 devices, indexed from maxforlive.com. Filter by type and license (Free / Commercial / Creative Commons), sort by downloads or newest. Same catalog you know, just actually searchable. Important: it's an UNOFFICIAL search tool over maxforlive.com's data - not affiliated with Cycling '74 or Ableton, and it doesn't host or sell anything; it points you to the original. Free. Two things I'd love feedback on: (1) what's the device you can never find when you need it? (2) which filters/sorts would make this a daily tool for you? Thanks for looking.

Finally, a way to actually find stuff in the maxforlive catalog without scrolling forever. The type and license filters are super handy, especially when you just want to browse free instruments.
