Download & install Cosm
The current version is named after Lee "Scratch" Perry, and was released in August 2011.
The Cosm toolkit is built for Max/MSP/Jitter 5.0, for MacOSX and Windows. Cosm comes with an automatic installer, which should work so long as Max is in the usual location. A manual install option is available if not.
If Cosm is installed succesfully, it will print out a version message to the Max window when Max is restarted. The latest version of Cosm is named after Lee "Scratch" Perry:
OSX
- OSX installer (installs Cosm into the default location of Max on your platform)
- OSX manual install (see instructions)
Windows
Coming in the next few days - please check back! In the mean-time, check out the earlier versions below.
Windows users: If you have errors when you try to use a Cosm object, you may need to install the latest Quicktime for Windows, and/or the Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (required to run applications developed with Visual C++ on a computer that does not have Visual C++ 2008 installed.) You can get it from http://www.microsoft.com/DOWNLOADS/details.aspx?FamilyID=9b2da534-3e03-4391-8a4d-074b9f2bc1bf&displaylang=en.
