The short answer would be pretty much anything. Well for max I think, think reaktor only with C more objects. Cool thing about max is you can make your own objects in script, although you dont have to. Theres addons to get it working with video and images too, all kinds of stuff really. I have a few vsti's and effects built in max and they are my fav plugins
