Ok I think I found the problem, and it was directly related to the bug I fixed :wink:

In startup.scd:

Change your path to:

 load("/Users/tommyheisler/Library/Application Support/SuperCollider/synthdefs/mi-ugens.scd");

Okay, I know where I found the complete Ugens folder! I did it with Git in the terminal.

Your path doesn't work either... I tried everything I could....
I did the work twice, but my computer refuses to fetch or install them.
Do you still have any ideas?

Summarising our discussion on discord:

The key issue is:

ERROR: dlopen '<path to any>.scx' err 'dlopen(<path to any>.scx, 2): no suitable image found.  Did find:
	<path to any>.scx: cannot load 'MiBraids.scx' (load command 0x80000034 is unknown)

From searching errors:

It should mean the LC_BUILD_VERSION load command (0x80000034) is not recognized on the user's Mac OS version (10.14.6) since it was introduced in later versions of macOS (before: LC_VERSION_MIN_MACOSX).

That load command is used to specify the minimum OS version on which the binary can run, as well as the SDK version used to build it.

In summary, OSX High Sierra on a 2011 MBP is not supported by (at least) the mi-ugens 0.0.6 release, and possibly all of them. @tom_gop is testing older releases now to see if there was ever support for older OSX

Well, everyone, I thought we only had one release... but the v0.0.3 release seems to work perfectly on my macOS High Sierra! Now, I need to dive in and explore the "do let" language. :blush:
Thanks, @cleary, for your time and invaluable help!

Hi everyone, I tried to follow the instructions to install and use the MI U-Gens, but I don't really understand what I'm doing and it seems I did something wrong. I can play notes with plaits and braids, but that's about it. If I try to use rings it seems it isn't installed and I don't really know how to even test something like ripples or warps. I discovered tidal cycles few days ago, and never used SC, so everything is very new to me. Is there something I could test to find out where my errors are? Thank you!

Hi and welcome - first thing we'll need to know in order to troubleshoot is, what operating system are you using?

153

I'm on osx Ventura 13.2.1

154

OK I don't know much about OSX, but that sounds pretty old.
If you've got some of the synths working already, then you're definitely on the right track.

The mi-ugens page in the docs has examples for all of the different effects - could you give each a try using the example code provided, and let me know which ones aren't working?

155

I just went through the installation process again, I think I didn't escape a whitespace in the script's address the first time. Now they (almost everyone) seem to work!
When trying to use the Ripples example from the docs I get this error in SC though:

*** ERROR: SynthDef ripples2 not found
FAILURE IN SERVER /s_new SynthDef not found

which seems strange to me, "ripples2" is not written anywhere...

Another thing: I'm used to use Rings as an instrument in vcvrack, here it seems I can only use it as an effect?
Thank you for your patience!

Glad to hear you got it going!

When trying to use the Ripples example from the docs I get this error

There is a chance that ripples is missing from the mi-ugens zip archive, some of those releases are a little incomplete - so you may not actually have the ripples module included in the version of the mi-ugens you grabbed. You may be able to find it in another release though, and copy it in with the rest?

I've never used rings outside of tidal so I can't really offer anything here... my understanding is that it requires a sound source to operate on so in tidal that basically boils down to it being an effect?

Could you please clarify what you mean with "tarball"?

158

Hi!
I had that same problem, and I just went with an older version. As @cleary mentioned, it doesn't seem to be fully ready for macOS. I’m not entirely sure, but I managed to make it work. However, I can’t play with the parameters today just with braids/plaits/omi sound...

When I say tarball, I mean an archive file, specifically with a .tar.gz prefix - in this case, I'm actually wrong, the mi-ugens releases all use the .zip archive format, so replace "tarball" with "zip archive"
