Mi-Ugens Install issue Mac OSX

1

have searched and followed multiple instructions but still getting a loading error with the Mi-Ugens on OSX 10.14.6 (Intel) and SC 3.12.2

I get the following error when compiling and booting and can’t seem to see my error. I followed the instructions to step 6 given here (as I am not using Tidal):

I also installed the SuperDirt quark as that seemed to be throwing errors as well.
Reinstalled SC, made a new startup file, etc…

Here is my post window output:

anyone?

having reinstalled from scratch following the instructions a few times now I still have now luck and also get this error that seems to be linked to the mi-ugens.scd file (which I copy-pasted from the install instructions):

hey there!

did you try un-quarantining the plugins, as described here?

all best!

4

thanks, can try that … but which directory do I CD to?

5

You can check the directory of the plugin by running Platform.userExtensionDir +/+ "mi-UGens" in SuperCollider

6

strange that I get a no file or directory error…but it exists…am I missing something here (not really versed in Terminal commands). Should there be a space between Application and Support? I don’t really understand how it should be formatted but the terminal output is:
-bash: cd: ~/Library/Application: No such file or directory

7

Spaces are not directly supported in Terminal, see here. If you wrap the pathname in quotes or add escape characters, it works:

(Platform.userExtensionDir +/+ "mi-UGens").replace(Char.space, "\\ ") for escaping the space character in SuperColldier
cd "/Users/xxxx/Library/Application Support/SuperCollider/Extensions/mi-UGens" for using double quotes in Terminal

8

thanks, and one last question: what would replace “Filename”?

9

using mi-ugens.scd.six just throws an error…

10

also on the file mi-UGens… does this need to be done individually on each .scx file?

11

after running this on each .scx file in /mi-UGens, SC will no longer boot. great!

12

if I add this line to startup.scd:

~dirt = SuperDirt(2, s);

then it will boot, but I have the same exact errors as before.

13

Can anyone confirm these actually work on OSX 10.14.6 and SC 3.12.2?

And what is “SuperDirt”? Why would I need to load this, etc?

Have been using SC for years without much issue but such a hassle to just try these out.

14

argh, it doesn’t work for me on 10.13 either… i think it has to do with the “obsolete” os version. i had a similar issue with portedplugins some time ago, let me see if my fix for this works als for miUGens. SuperDirt is not needed for using miUGens (but for using Tidal with SuperCollider)

15

ok, thanks, I will need to consider an update… but hesitant as this system works fine for most of what I do. I appreciate your replies!

16

hey, just double checked and unfortunately the fix i used for ported-plugins doesnt work here. but i realized that i have a working copy of mi-UGens installed, which is this one: 0.0.3
maybe you could try your luck here?

17

I got these working recently. I had to build them with an older version of the supercollider source files 3.12.1
