Hi there, I am on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and installed SuperCollider and S3Plugins from sources today. I am able to run sample code in supercollider. I start jack like this: jackd -r -d alsa -r 44100 I have also installed tidal via cabal: ghci GHCi, version 8.8.3: [Glasgow Haskell Compiler — The Glasgow Haskell Compiler](https://www.haskell.org/ghc/) :? for help Loaded package environment from /home/izi/.ghc/x86\_64-linux-8.8.3/environments/default Prelude\> import Sound.Tidal.Context Prelude Sound.Tidal.Context\> tidal\_version "1.7.2" Installed superdirt with: Quarks.checkForUpdates({Quarks.install("SuperDirt", "v1.7.2"); thisProcess.recompile()}) in scide.

Required 444 MB of memory. SuperDirt: listening to Tidal on port 57120 and the Atom plugin sends the message successfully to SuperDirt I think, but SuperDirt keeps logging: nth or sample named 'kick' could be found. module 'sound': instrument not found: kick no synth or sample named 'snare' could be found. module 'sound': instrument not found: snare The message I send is: d1 $ sound "kick snare snare" What am I doing wrong? Do I need a LADSPA plugin? Do I not load the samples correctly? Thanks ---

Hi @izi, That all likes expected behaviour. The `kick` and `snare` samplesets aren't in the list there, I think superdirt can't find them because they aren't there. You can follow the instructions here for adding a sample pack which includes these sample folders: [Week 1 lesson 2 - Loading sample packs](https://club.tidalcycles.org/t/week-1-lesson-2-loading-sample-packs/341) ---

Thank you very much @yaxu, that solved the problem 🙂
