  • Archlinux package for Surge-XT

• Side Comments
  

  • Should be on the latest build of Renoise 3.4.4, haven’t made that transition yet.
  • Want to start with Renoise 1st before going down the rabbit hole.

Tried loading Surge XT in Renoise on Arch Linux. I got the same error too. Very odd.

[Mezzguru]

Ok. I just updated my system and Surge XT has got an update (1.3.4-3). Tried loading it in Renoise and it works. You should try updating your system.

Huh, so it wasn’t just me then. Thanks for the solution!
