It crashes in the Windows version of Renoise upon loading it. I like how it shows how many of my CPU's cores are being used up. I may still keep Bazille because of how stable, versatile, and rich-sounding it is.

Mac:
whats *exactly* the "unlock" text ?
I would like to use it. I liked the YT video very much.
this:
sudo xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /path/to/your/plugin/TetraOP.component
what exactly ?
looks here like:
MacintoshHD/Library/Audio/Plugins/Components/TetraOP.component
it should lead imo to: (i have no clue)
sudo xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /MacintoshHD/Library/Audio/Plugins/Components/TetraOP.component
It was not working !
i get this fail message:
xattr: No such file: /MacintoshHD/Library/Audio/Plugins/Components/TetraOP.component
(The .component file has been placed in the "Components" folder / my mac has been power cycled since)
anyone a clue ?

The volume name (MacintoshHD) isn't actually part of the path, so that would just be
sudo xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Library/Audio/Plugins/Components/TetraOP.component
sudo xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Library/Audio/Plugins/Components/TetraOP.component

You need a hyphenated Plug-Ins folder like this:
/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components
In the shell, if you hit tab after typing part of a path, it will offer to complete the path for you. Try typing /Lib and hitting tab, and you'll see it completes it. This will help you avoid making typos in path names.
