Fluidsynth and OM7.5

Good morning!

I installed last night the 7.5 version of OM, and it does not recognize Fluidsynth!
I get the message that fluidsynth is not installed in this computer.
I have fluidsynth working perfectly on the 7.4 OM version.

Mac Pro, Intel i5, OS 15.7.

Can someone help?

Thank you in advance,

Dimitris

Dear Dimitris,

Apparently you upgraded your system to Sequoia. However version 15.7 doesn’t exist yet :slight_smile: I believe it is a typo.
Anyhow, you need to INSTALL fluidynth on your machine following the instructions found here:

Maybe if you did so before, upgrading HomeBrew is a good idea.

Keep me posted.

Sorry Karim!!!

You are right, is a typo, I forgot that there are now other versions after 10…!!
My system is 10.15.7…
The same OS as before, where in the OM7.4 the fluidsynth installed works…

Greetings!

Dimitris

Dear Dimitris,

Ok, so it is Catalina.
Unfortunately, Homebrew dropped the support for Catalina.
If you can, upgrade your OS. If not, please use a MIDI device instead.
This is unfortunate, i agree.

Dear All,

I am trying to install Fluidsynth through the terminal, but I have this message on the end of the installation:

Thank you in advance,

Dear Angela,

From what I see, the installation was successful BUT…
In your case you have to change your shell from bash to zsch. That’s why it failed.
You must have updated your OS?
Which OS are you on?

Dear Karim,

I am using Sonoma 14.7.2

Thank you.
