Antescofo~ not working in Max for Live (Live 12.1)

[juliann]

Hello,

I have run into a strange bug when using antescofo~ with Max for Live. When using older versions of Max 8 (I’ve tested 8.1.1 and 8.5.6) antescofo~ works fine in Max but not inside of M4L when using Live 12.1 (Build: 2024-09-25_bba251b1d9). With the latest Max version as of this post installed (8.6.5), antescofo~ does not work in either Max or M4L. I get the error messages in the console as pictured:

Just wondering if anyone else has run into this or might know how to fix this issue. Thanks in advance!

Hello Juliann.

I think that you have a Silicon based processor and you antescofo~ version is for x86. Older version of Max8 where shipped as universal (capable of running in emulation mode for x86 or natively for ARM). Newer version are shipped only for ARM.

If that’s the case, the solution is to get the ARM version of antescofo~ (the latest version in the Forum gives you both version, ARM and x86).

Hi Jl,

Thank you for your reply and advice about matching the correct version of antescofo~ to my cpu type! I checked my processor type and it is listed as Intel Core i5 which is an x86 processor. I went ahead and downloaded the latest x86 version of antescofo~
from the forum and replaced the .mxo inside of the externals folder in the antescofo package folder. I booted up live 12.1 and created a new M4L patch and tried creating an antescofo~ object but get this message now in the console:

The same happens when trying to create an antescofo~ in a regular Max 8.1.11 patcher so
I disabled and re-enabled the antescofo~ package from the package manager, still nothing. I quit Max then put the old version of antescofo~ back into the external folder. Reopen max, antescofo~ is working… I am not sure exactly what version of antescofo~ this is but it is from March 5, 2018. I quit Max and open Live, create a new M4L device and I’m back where I started last night - antescofo~ works in Max but not M4L. If you have any other insights into why antescofo~ may not be working with M4L I’d appreciate it!

The dlopen message means that some symbol is required but not found by the linker. That symbol is expected to be imported from the C++ standard library. It can happen if the system version is too old wrt the SDK version used to compile the antescofo~ external. See some hints at Expected in: /usr/lib/libc++.1.dyl… | Apple Developer Forums

What is your system version ?

You will find at this url: Nubo the latest version of antescofo compiled for 10.13. I can’t go any further because Apple compiler constraints.

Let me known if it works. If not, you have to consider to upgrade your Mac system version. System for x86 are now stuck 13.7 somethings. We have such systems that runs antescofo but the only experience with antescofo~ on Max4Live are with newer system version on ARM (and it works as expected).
