Hi Simon, thanks for the reply. A bit of background - I've been using CDP7 via Renoise and I had Soundloom installed, but it's completely impenetrable to me. I do remember getting them installed was an ordeal. I'm not exactly computer competent, so doing anything in the terminal is an adventure to say the least. I'd like to try out the new SoundThread UI, but I couldn't get it working. I thought maybe it's because I was still on 7, which is why I've been trying to install 8.
I was following the instructions in the readme file, I hadn't looked at the manualconfig file. Unfortunately I'm still having difficulties. I know I'm doing something wrong in the terminal, but I'm not sure what. If I try to do almost anything, I get a 'command not found' message. The 'cd ~' command brings me to my home directory as expected, but if e.g. I try to open text edit via the terminal, I get '-bash: open: command not found'. However, I notice that if I look for hidden files in my home folder using command-shift-period, I do have a .zshenv file and it does contain the statement
as the indicated in the manualconfig file. Not sure how that happened, but ok, whatever. But if I try to point the Renoise tool to the CDP8 _cdprogs folder, Mac security blocks it. Same result if I replace CDP7's '_cdprogs' folder with CDP8's. And if I try to enter 'xattr -rc cdpr8' to bypass security, I get the 'xatter: command not found' message. Same with Soundloom, which I uninstalled for some reason.
I got CDP7 and the Renoise tool working again, so I guess I'm not too fussed about this right now.
