David Zicarelli is a software developer and the founder of the music and multimedia software company Cycling '74. Since the late 1980s he has been a developer of the Max programming environment, which was originally created at IRCAM by Miller Puckette. He founded Cycling '74 in 1997 to distribute his various collections of software; the company began by producing the MSP audio extension to Max, which at that time belonged to Opcode Systems, and in 1998 started distributing the two products together. Cycling '74 has published Max since 1999 and later added Jitter, Gen, Max for Live, developed with Ableton, and RNBO. The company name came from images in a 1974 bicycling catalog that Zicarelli used to decorate his original website. Ableton announced its acquisition of Cycling '74 in June 2017.
