Installation

Before installing Monomodular, make sure you have the most current versions of MaxMSP and Ableton Live installed on your computer. You will also need a license to use MaxforLive (although it is possible to use everything here in Demo Mode).

You may have navigated here from the installer itself, and you're wondering what its all about.

To install all the Monomodular software, just follow the instructions printed in the console window of the Installer patch.

There are four fields that need to be correct in order for the installation to proceed. They display the file paths to the locations that the files will be copied on your system. If they are correct, the field will be white. If the path couldn't automatically be found, it will say so in red, and you can locate it manually by either clicking on the text or dropping the file/folder onto the box on the left of the text. The default paths for the files:

MacOS

Live.app = ~/Applications/Live 8.x.x/Live.app

MaxMSP Folder = ~/Applications/Max 5

Live Library = ~/Library/Preferences/Live 8.x.x/Library

Windows (pre win7)

Live Folder = \Program Files\Ableton\Live 8.x.x

MaxMSP Folder = \Program Files\Cycling '74\Max 5.x

Live Library =\Documents and Settings\USER\Documents\Ableton

Windows 7

Live Folder = \Program Files\Ableton\Live 8.x.x

MaxMSP Folder = \Program Files\Cycling '74\Max 5.x

Live Library = \users\username\documents\ableton\Library
