Hi, I've released a free CLAP plugin called Apricot. I've had a lot of positive feedback so far! Let me know what you think: https://nakst.itch.io/apricot 😃

welcome! i've been using Fluctus on Linux without issues. any chance of a CLAP/Linux version for this as well? 🤭
Oh, never mind, last time I checked there wasn't one. I see there is one now.
Sorry 🤭

Haha, I just uploaded it yesterday!

windows warns me that it contains a virus and then deletes the installer 😄

:( It seems like every time I upload a new version it's the roll of the dice for whether Windows Defender will like it or not
I think as more people download it, it gains reputation in their systems

Only way to avoid that is to register a company, have a notary draft up some paperwork, and buy a €500/year certificate

Are any Mac M1/M2 users able to check if the macOS build https://nakst.itch.io/apricot is working for them? 🙏

Hi, just had a first try with it, I like it, but the bass presets seem to be in different octaves.

trying it now
works like a charm for me
ivory pulsar
huh, that's interesting. I don't have a M1 Mac myself so I can't try it, but a few people have told me they can't load it in Bitwig
I'm still trying to work out what could be the reason. Bitwig's error message is completely useless, sadly
real knoll
did they follow the exact steps on the README? (including the command with sudo)
ivory pulsar
yeah, it was the main developer of Surge who tried it (baconpaul), so they definitely know what they're doing
real knoll
I see
ivory pulsar
I've sent a report to the Bitwig folks anyway, in the hopes they can improve the error message
ivory pulsar
Just released version 1.0! Still a free download, https://nakst.gitlab.io/apricot/
Since last posting here it should be working without issue on Mac 10.14 and later, but please message me if you still have issues.

Doesn't work for me, the command "sudo /usr/bin/xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine Apricot.clap" does not give any output and Bitwig cannot open the clap file.

What version of macOS are you using? And which processor
Also the command you write here is the not the same as the one in the installation instructions text file
prisma ferry
Will check tomorrow and let you know what happens with same command as in the installation text file.

FWIW I've had issues using the xattr method for adding a gatekeeper whitelist for a clap plugin in ventura. The only way I've managed to get it to work is to disable gatekeeper then allow bitwig to scan, then re-enable gatekeeper. In general I don't have an issue with what apple is doing with gatekeeper but I wish they have better UX for techie people who want to manually vet everything themselves.

Sorry, couldn’t make it before holidays. Will try end of next week.

No worries. BTW I think the cause of the issue is leaving Bitwig open during the plugin's installation. Make sure you close it before copying the .clap file, and don't open it until you've run the xattr command. I'll update the installation instructions in the next update.

When running "sudo xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine ~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/CLAP/Apricot.clap" it reacts with "option -r not recognized".
ivory pulsar
@prisma ferry Could you try this command instead:
sudo xattr -d com.apple.quarantine ~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/CLAP/Apricot.clap/Contents/MacOS/Apricot
I think it has something to do with my python installation
when using the /usr/bin/xattr path explicitly it works without any error.
But then it still does not gets unblocked within Bitwig.
Running latest Bitwig 4.6.6 btw
ivory pulsar
try renaming the Apricot.clap file to Apricot2.clap
ivory pulsar
No worries. It's very helpful so that I can improve my installation instructions
prisma ferry
Great! Any other things I can do from this side to help you?
ivory pulsar
Just to confirm, the xattr -r worked when you did /usr/bin/xattr?
prisma ferry
Both the options, so also -r -d
