Hi barbe & all. longtime tidal user but setting it up fresh on a new M1 Mac and running into problems. Thanks barbe for the helpful guide. I've followed it carefully and it has got me the closest of any info I've found, but unfortunately still running into problems.

When I install tidal, I get the below log. If anyone could advise about what to try next, I'd be grateful. Thanks

Tom

Lots of output to consider there, but one highlight is GHC 9.2.2. As I recall, Tidal 1.9.2 requires GHC 9.4.2. Updating your GHC would be a good next step.

thank you! I'll try that next

Finally made some progress last night getting Tidal working again on my M1 MBP after weeks of issues. Turns out I needed to update ghc to 9.4.4, and then the automatic install script worked fine.

However, I'm now getting late messages on every trigger in sc, and I'm not exactly sure why. In the past, I had bumped up the oLatency value in my bootTidal, but that doesn't seem to be working; it's currently set at 0.7, but I'm still getting late messages well below that threshold:

late 0.388927970
late 0.392488041
late 0.396080720
late 0.410301218
late 0.413857079
late 0.417411821

Timing is also audibly wonky. Anecdotally (and I'm not sure if it's connected), I've also noticed it takes much longer for my sample library to load. Any ideas?

p.s. latency on the sc side is set to 2.

EDIT: In case it's helpful to anyone else, I think I've managed to improve things by drastically lowering the oLatency value to 0.1 in my bootTidal file. Weird, but seems to work.

Have you tried configuring the lazy loading parameter for superdirt in your startup.scd?
It's not a fix per se, but I recommend it as a default anyway

I'm still having issues installing in my mac studio m1 Ventura 13.2.1. I tried following the main site tutorial as well as the one above. Here are some of the issues I ran/running into:

  • For step #3 I had to install ghcup which wasn't installed by default in my machine
  • I couldn't run cabal after the tidal bootstrap install, only after installing cabal-install it worked
  • #5 I'm not sure where does the include("SuperDirt") command go?
  • I've also tried running a .tidal file in vscode with the vscode plugin and I get this error:
    Warning: GHCi | :117:1: error:
    Warning: GHCi | Parse error: module header, import declaration
    Warning: GHCi | or top-level declaration expected.

There is a link on the MacOS install page to view the GitHub readme where it mentions that the tidal-bootstrap script has not been validated or tested in Silicon and OS versions tested are Big Sur and Monterey. Sorry about this limitation, but it looks like some commands in the script did not execute properly in your environment.

The command "include("SuperDirt") is essentially an argument passed to SuperCollider (sclang) telling it to install SuperDirt. Normally you wouldn't see this, so it suggests that SuperDirt didn't install. You can check by starting SuperCollider, then in the "Language" menu will be "Quarks". When you select Quarks it should display a separate window of all installed plugins. If SuperDirt and "Dirt-Samples" are not listed, then you don't have them and nothing will work.

Follow the manual instructions for SuperDirt.

You should also follow the steps higher up on the page (3. post installation) and validate

cabal list tidal
cabal info tidal
ls ~/.pulsar/packages/tidalcycles/node_modules/osc-min
/Applications/SuperCollider.app/Contents/Resources/scsynth -v

Assuming that Pulsar and its plugin are installed correctly, please verify with a .tidal file. If all components are good, VS Code should work too (or any other editor). But Pulsar is the easiest way to troubleshoot.

Sorry you are having problems, hopefully this gets you what you need!

Thank you for your help!
So I do have the super dirt library already setup in the vs code extension and I can see all the samples.
I've also tried running all the commands the only thing that stood out was on cabal info tidal:

 tidal            (library)
    Synopsis:      Pattern language for improvised music
    Versions available: 0.8.2, 0.9.9, 0.9.10, 1.7.10, 1.8.0, 1.8.1, 1.9.2,
                        1.9.3, 1.9.4 (and 127 others)
    Versions installed: [ Not installed ]
    Homepage:      http://tidalcycles.org/
    Bug reports:   [ Not specified ]
....

Is that correct that Versions installed says Not installed?

This shows that the Tidal packages for Haskell are not installed. Do this:

cabal update
cabal v1-install tidal

This should install the 1.9.4 packages. Then when you run cabal info tidal it will show 1.9.4 in Versions installed, and will then list all the modules.

Alright so now I'm seeing:

Versions installed: 1.9.4

I'm still getting this error everytime I run (SuperDirt.start; d1 $ sound "bd sn") in the .tidal file:

Warning: GHCi | <interactive>:218:1: error:
Warning: GHCi |     Parse error: module header, import declaration
Warning: GHCi |     or top-level declaration expected.

Thank you!

SuperDirt.start; is a command that is done in the SuperCollider ide, not in the editor. When I run it in Pulsar I get the same parse error. But I never run it there.

In the Start Tidal user guide, this command is there for SC only to get you going.

In a proper setup, you won't need to run SuperDirt.start in SC every time. The key is to get your SuperCollider startup file saved and set up correctly. Then every time you start SuperCollider, SuperDirt starts. Pay attention to this file - many tidalists edit this file with different settings and options and even have multiple versions of it with different configurations.

Ahh that makes more sense now, I'm getting some new bugs but feel like I'm moving forward thank you! So I got the SuperCollider IDE but when I boot the server I get a number of additional errors. A lot of them around a SC3Plugins folder like:

*** ERROR: dlopen '/Users/benzaiten/Library/Application Support/SuperCollider/Extensions/SC3plugins/HOAUGens/HOADecBinaural1_supernova.scx' err 'dlopen(/Users/benzaiten/Library/Application Support/SuperCollider/Extensions/SC3plugins/HOAUGens/HOADecBinaural1_supernova.scx, 0x0002): tried: '/Users/benzaiten/Library/Application Support/SuperCollider/Extensions/SC3plugins/HOAUGens/HOADecBinaural1_supernova.scx' (mach-o file, but is an incompatible architecture (have 'x86_64', need 'arm64')), '/System/Volumes/Preboot/Cryptexes/OS/Users/benzaiten/Library/Application Support/SuperCollider/Extensions/SC3plugins/HOAUGens/HOADecBinaural1_supernova.scx' (no such file), '/Users/benzaiten/Library/Application Support/SuperCollider/Extensions/SC3plugins/HOAUGens/HOADecBinaural1_supernova.scx' (mach-o file, but is an incompatible architecture (have 'x86_64', need 'arm64'))'
...

Now in my .tidal file the error is different now but probably better to get supercollider running before I start with these errors.

I have not seen any errors with SC3Plugins, so I am at a loss. I have some suggestions, but hopefully someone else more knowledgable on SC and SCPlugins will respond.

With in the error message it says "(mach-o file, but is an incompatible architecture (have 'x86_64', need 'arm64'" This looks as if you have the wrong version of the files, but SC3plugins. It may be that the Tidal automated installer gives you the wrong files. You may want to reinstall the SC3plugins manually.

See: GitHub - supercollider/sc3-plugins: Community plugins for SuperCollider

The other thing to do is search this forum for similar error messages: "dlopen" or SC3-plugin error.

Yup I did this, tried various things but couldn't get around the errors with my limited knowledge of the domain. I've tried now to run tidal and it seems to work though with some errors, like I notice some synths like superpiano or supersaw won't make any sound while supersquare and supermandolin do. At least I can play around for now with what's available. Thanks!

Hi. I'm installing Tidal Cycles in a M1 Mac Mini. I'm fairly new to SuperCollider.

I follow the guide, the installation is really confusing for Apple Silicon. Anyway, I'm getting successfully the test sound using Pulsar text editor. However, I'm getting this error in the Post window of SC:

FAILURE IN SERVER /n_run Node 1106 not found

How can resolve it? I lookup it u in the GitHub issues of SC but I got no results.

Many thanks

I don't know how to resolve this, but I get similar errors occasionally, sometimes they repeat with many nodes not found. So I quit server or kill all servers, then quit the SC IDE and restart. It usually clears it up, so I conclude that these are temporary system overloads, or memory faults. That is just an uninformed guess though.

Many thanks for the quick response. I'm trying to catch up with both SC and Tidal.

I'm running an M1 Mac mini with macOS Ventura 13.3.1

Apart from that error, I was getting errors with SC3 plugins, so, I followed the steps in order to clone, and replace the SC3 plugins, and at least for me , then restarting SC do the trick.

So, as 27th April 2023, the following steps I took to install SC and Tidal on an AS machine were (thanks for the installation article, and then the subsequents addendum of other users):

  • Install HomeBrew (I had already installed on my machine)
  • Automatic installation with Tidal BootStrap
    -That installed Pulsar (not Atom)
    -Had to reinstall GHCup. Went to the official website (cabal was not installed in the auto install)
  • Install Tidal lib with cabal.
  • I didn't have issues with SuperDirt (with auto install).

Then, I setup an startup.scd file with the script provided in the documentation of Tidal.

I tried Pulsar in order to troubleshoot first, but then I configure VSCode, installing Tidal (as per documentation provided also in Tidal). I got now VSCode working. I had to install Haskell syntax language extension in order to format the input text.

I followed the necessary steps to use Sublime as a text editor, but I had no luck.

I will update if I got luck with Sublime (that's my default text editor).

Thanks for sharing the details about your install results. It helps to know about it. Did you get an error message about cabal or ghcup during the bootstrap script execution?
