Yes, I'm surprised it doesn't set it either to be honest, I had never heard of CDP until I found that tool and had no idea what I was supposed to do. Never mind though, all working now and a simple solution in the end.

Thanks again.

Just wanted to say that I have solved this, I had not set the CDP_SOUND_EXT properly and now, after adding 'CDP_SOUND_EXT=wav' to my .zshenv file everything is working 
Thanks!

That does sound like it might be the problem, it seems that anything that uses the .ana files doesn't work. I had a look through the script and it looks like it does use PVOC to do the conversion:

- PVOC Conversions
local function wav_to_ana(input_path, pvoc)
  local output_path = os.tmpname("ana")
  -- Construct argument string
  local pvoc_arg_string = create_arg_string(pvoc.argument)
  pvoc_arg_string = " "..input_path.." "..output_path..pvoc_arg_string
  -- Run pvoc anal
  local cmd_output = os.tmpname('txt') 
  os.execute(pvoc.anal_command..pvoc_arg_string.." > "..cmd_output)
  update_terminal(cmd_output)
  os.remove(cmd_output)
  os.remove(input_path)
  print("WAV to ANA - Output path = "..output_path)
  print("---------------------------")   
  return output_path
end

local function ana_to_wav(input_path, pvoc)
  local output_path = os.tmpname("wav")
  local pvoc_arg_string = " "..input_path.." "..output_path
  -- Run pvoc synth
  local cmd_output = os.tmpname('txt') 
  os.execute(pvoc.synth_command..pvoc_arg_string.." > "..cmd_output)
  update_terminal(cmd_output)
  os.remove(cmd_output)     
  os.remove(input_path)
  print("ANA to WAV - Output path = "..output_path)
  print("---------------------------")     
  return output_path 
end

I am trying to use CDP with the Renoise tool (http://forum.renoise.com/index.php/topic/41882-new-tool-30-cdp-lua-tool/) but I am getting the following error when I use the blur function with any settings I try:



A lot of the other functions work like distort but I have noticed a few others which also don't work such as spec and specsphinx.

I created the launchd.conf and added it to /etc/ as the mac installation notes suggest but I'm a bit lost as to what else I can try. Does anyone have any suggestions?
