OBSIDIAN-Neural Base Tutorial Available

[Innermost]

Hey everyone,

Just released a base workflow tutorial for OBSIDIAN-Neural:

(French with English subtitles)

What's covered:
- DAW multi-output setup and configuration
- AI prompt creation and sample generation
- Sequencing and editing workflow
- Hardware synth integration (TD-3 demo)
- Drag & drop export to DAW tracks

The tutorial shows the actual creative process - from typing simple prompts like "breakbeat rhythm" to building full arrangements with AI-generated elements + hardware.

Quick note on antivirus: If you encounter any Malwarebytes warnings, it's a known false positive. I've submitted the repo for review and they've confirmed it will be removed from their database in the next update. Official response here.

For those not interested in AI music tools - totally understandable, no worries at all.

Cheers,
InnerMost47

Following for hopeful future Mac release.

I invite you to check here, I have build the vst for mac

Oh nice! I read that it was windows only.

Thanks for the info! I'll update that to avoid any misunderstanding.

The Mac installer isn't an installer, it has no extension and my Mac believes its a text document... Adding any possible extension (.pkg, .dmg, .app) doesn't do any good either...
But the VST3 loads fine...

Thanks for reporting this! Please try:

1. Fix permissions via Terminal:

Code: Select all

chmod +x /path/to/OBSIDIAN-Neural-Installer-macOS 

2. If it's still seen as text, force execution:

Code: Select all

./OBSIDIAN-Neural-Installer-macOS

It has nothing to do with permissions. What should it be? A standalone? Then it should be an app, but it wasn't... An installer? It wasn't... A dmg? It wasn't either... It had no extension at all. Maybe it was an app for the ancient OS9? I doubt it... (30 years ago Apple used a different system to determine the file type...; - )
I am fine with the VST3 though...

Thanks for your message, I will have to investigate on that. I tell you when that's ok.

Is this ok in this build ?

This looked better, but still pretty unexpected, as seemingly contains something for the command line. I copied it out of the dmg, did my usual dequarantine, and it opened a terminal with this result:

st@Mac ~ % /Users/st/Downloads/OBSIDIAN-Neural-Installer ; exit;
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "installer.py", line 22, in <module>
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'psutil'
[PYI-5568:ERROR] Failed to execute script 'installer' due to unhandled exception!

I think this needs more explanations what it should do. It seems to want to install some phyton code. I guess there must be a way to pack it into an installer that works for normal users... And I guess it failed...
Never expect from non-programmers what is second nature to programmers...

Hey! Thanks a lot for the feedback and debugging info - super helpful!
I just triggered a new build. I think I found the issue: missing Python dependencies (psutil and GPUtil) that weren't being packaged properly by PyInstaller on macOS. Should be fixed now.
Since I don't have a Mac to test on, your reports are really valuable for getting this working properly. The new build should give you a proper installer instead of that terminal error.
Thanks for your patience while I figure out the cross-platform packaging! Let me know how it goes.

It still looked the same. Its not a pkg file, it opened the terminal with the result that seemingly opened something like an app with this error message on a popup window:

"A critical error occurred: module 'subprocess' has no attribute 'CREATE_NO_WINDOW'"

The copy of the console:

st@Mac ~ % /Users/st/Downloads/OBSIDIAN-Neural-Installer ; exit;
Detecting VST3 folder (initial scan, output to console):
Checking: /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3 (Exists: True, IsDir: True)

Thanks for the report! I've identified and fixed the issue - it was a Windows-specific subprocess flag (CREATE_NO_WINDOW) being used on macOS. The installer was trying to use a Windows-only attribute that doesn't exist on macOS/Linux.
I've updated the code to properly handle cross-platform differences. Thanks for helping me catch this cross-platform bug!
This should be ok in this build: https://github.com/innermost47/ai-dj/releases/tag/v54

Works better, but still fails... I had to type into a terminal "sudo" and then drop the installer there, which resultet in that error after I hit install.
Isn't there a way to avoid all that command line stuff by getting a .pkg file, that would deal automatically with privileges, missing folders (by creating them if they don't exist) and so forth?
It seems you do all of it with Visual Studio and not Juce...
