Difficult installing sc3 plugins

nosrepnu · October 9, 2024, 10:45am

Hey,

I am having difficulty installing the sc3 plugins.

SuperCollider Version: 3.13.0
sc3 Version: sc3-plugins-3.13.0-macOS.zip
Mac OS 12.6.6

I have placed the extracted folder in “/Library/Application Support/SuperCollider/Extensions/” as directed.

But when I recompile/reboot the server, they don’t show up.

Here is what I get in the post window when I boot the server:

SuperDirt: listening to Tidal on port 57120

Could it be something to do with Tidal?

Any help would be much appreciated!

Are they in the correct folder, and are the code examples not running?

I don’t see any problem with this output. Maybe I’m blind.

The message “Found 0 LADSPA plugins” just means this UGen can’t find LADSPA plugins, maybe because of environment variables. But probably, sc3-plugins are working.

EDIT with EXTRA TIP: To fix the LAPDSA warning

I think you just need to set the LADSPA_PATH environment variable to the folder with plugin files:

Open your shell’s configuration file ( .bashrc for Bash, .zshrc for Zsh, fish or any other shell) in a text editor.
Add the following line with the PATHs adjusted to your system:

export LADSPA_PATH="/usr/lib/ladspa:/usr/local/lib/ladspa:/home/YOUR_USERNAME_HERE/.ladspa"

Then, source the file:

 source ~/.bashrc

Check the plugin’s help file, too. See if that’s all.

I agree with @smoge, I don’t see any errors

they don’t show up.

It seems that you’re expecting some console output, but by default there is none. (Some plugins print something when they are loaded, but it’s not the norm.) Just try one of the SC3 plugins and see if it works.

Ahhh, sorted. Silly me. Thanks guys!
