Oct 2012. The patches run on recent Intel-based Apple Macintoshs (no ppc or Windows) using a recent version of Max/MSP (v. 4.6.3 or v. 5.x). The piece has been tested using Max 5.x on OSX 10.6.x and OSX 10.7.x. Currently hokpwah does not run properly using MAX/MSP v6.x+ hokpwah DOWNLOADS: (unless you already have a version of Max MSP installed on your hard drive) Download the Max Runtime player http://cycling74.com/downloads/ Install it to your hard drive Now download the archive for the latest version of the piece: e.g http://sheefa.net/zack/pieces/hokpwah.zip Once you have downloaded the archive, expand it. You will now have a folder called hokpwah with the following items: 1. patches (inside this folder is a patch called "hokpwah.maxpat" which will load and launch the piece when clicked on) 2. "jimmies_1.01" IF YOU ARE USING THE MAX RUNTIME PLAYER: move both folders, jimmies_1.01, and patches, to the folder which contains the Max Runtime player: eg: "/Applications/Max5 Runtime" Max will now be able to find the items contained in the jimmies. OR IF YOU ARE USING NORMAL MAX/MPS, choose the folder, "jimmies_1.01", in MAX's File Preferences in the "Options" menu (make sure to check "subfolders"). TO RUN THE PIECE: go into the folder patches and click on "hokpwah.maxpat". Then follow the instructions in the "README" window (located on the "MAIN window").
