Fluidsynth error on Big Sur/M1 machine

Awesome! I had wondered from the install locations whether that might be the case. Happy scamping :slight_smile:

Hello,
I am totally new to python and I have trouble with fluidsynth (on thonny). Every time i want to run scamp it gives this error message:
| WARNING:root:Fluidsynth could not be loaded; synth output will not be available.
, even if I have fluidsynth downloaded.

I saw on the other comments that homebrew might be a solution but I end up lost on the website without knowing what exactly to do.
I think step-by-step instructions on how to get the homebrew fluidsynth on my computer would help me get there, but I am not exactly sure.

Thanks for taking the time to read me.

Ps: I am on the macOS Ventura 13.5 with M1 whatever that means and i have rosetta installed.

Homebrew is the way to go. Looks like they may have a new .PKG installer that’s more user-friendly that you can download from github:

Then, once it’s installed, just open a terminal and do:

brew install fluidsynth

It might take a while, because as the first thing you’ve ever installed with homebrew, it has to get a bunch of dependencies.

Let me know how it works!
