I'm not sure how serious this one is:

> [@ben](#):
>
> exception in GraphDef\_Recv: exceeded number of interconnect buffers. WARNING: SynthDef superfm

I think it's worth sorting though. Here I show how to start superdirt with more options: [Week 1 lesson 2 - Loading sample packs](https://club.tidalcycles.org/t/week-1-lesson-2-loading-sample-packs/341)

Once you do that, add this extra line to the list of configuration options there: `s.options.numWireBufs = 128;`

> [@ben](#):
>
> too big for sending. Retrying via synthdef file

This one isn't an error and you can safely ignore it.
