Back in the old days, we had to put all this stuff where it went on our own.

If you would like to remove files from old installations or manually install the Installation Package, here is some help to keep you in line.

Mods

All of the m4l patches that accompany the static build of Monomodular (i.e. the frozen version) should be placed in Live's Presets Library in their appropriate places. It is easiest to do this from the desktop: Take the folder labeled Monomodular_bxxx and drag it on top of the Max MIDI Effect folder in Live's browser, then drop it there. All the patches inside it should be copied into your library.

The default file paths for the Library are detailed on the Installation page.

Python Scripts

All of the control surface scripts should be placed inside the "MIDI Remote Scripts" folder.

This folder resides inside the Live.app bundle on OSX (ctrl-click the Live app, then select 'Show Package Contents' in order to navigate to the right place. Once inside, the path is: /Contents/App-Resources/MIDI Remote Scripts/).

On Windows, this process is a little simpler. The default file paths for the Remote Scripts folder are detailed on the Installation page.

Make sure NOT to move the entire 'Python Scripts' folder from the Installation Package. You must move only the folders inside it to the new location, or they will not be recognized correctly by Live when you restart it.

Java

There are a couple of files required by Boinng, Plinko, and Aumboids that must be place inside the Cycling '74 folder. The default location for the Max installation is detailed on the Installation page. Once in that location, you will need to navigate to /Cycling '74/java/classes/, and there place the files from the Java folder from the Monomodular Installation Package.

These are the graphics images used by all the Mods for displaying what Mod slot they are located in. They can be placed anywhere as long as you add the location to your search path in Max's file preferences. However, its easiest to just place them inside the Cycling '74 folder in your Max installation, since it is always part of the search path.

This folder will, in the future, contain all uncompressed/frozen files necessary for Max to know what to do with the .amxd patches. As soon as I have a chance to configure my own Library in SVN, I'll make an option to download source files or frozen files.

Monomodular

This folder contains several files useful to those using an iPad with TouchOSC or Lemur. If you don't have one, then you won't need them. Otherwise, you'll need to put them on your iOS device in order to use the AumPad or Aum256 Python scripts.
