Manual Installation
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 under MIDI Effects/. 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 paths for Live's Library are:
Live Library = ~/Library/Preferences/Live 8.x.x/Library
Live Library =\Documents and Settings\USER\Documents\Ableton\Library\
Live Library = \users\username\documents\ableton\Library
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.
Live.app = ~/Applications/Live 8.x.x/Live.app
Live Folder = \Program Files\Ableton\Live 8.x.x
Live Folder = \Program Files\Ableton\Live 8.x.x
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.
aumhaa_blocks
These are support files needed by the patches. Depending on how you received the package (direct download or SVN), it's contents will be different.
When downloading via SVN, this folder will contain additional resources for opening the unfrozen patch versions that are included in Live's library installation.
These files 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 "patches" folder in your Max installation, since it is already part of the search path.
If are getting errors in Max's status window, or there is no "wood block" display on the top right of your patches, these files aren't in the right place. There are graphics files inside the aumhaa_blocks folder that I'm unable to compile with the patches, and this behavior indicates that Max can't find them in their current location. Make sure they are inside Max's search path.
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.
