[sc-users] .send and .load

[nonprivate <nonprivate@xxxxxxxxx>]

hello all,

i'm having a problem with my synthdefs, which have grown lately.

if i use .send, i get this kind of thing:

<x-tad-smaller>[ synthdef size: 8230 ]
exception in GraphDef_Recv: UGen 'Binar
f' not installed.
exception in GraphDef_Recv: UGen 'Binarí	=ÿ' not installed.

</x-tad-smaller>so the synthdef is quite large, and i switch to using .load instead. but here is .load on a smaller synthdef:<x-tad-smaller>


[ synthdef size: 7365 ]
exception in GrafDef_Load: UGen '?Ä' not installed.
while reading file 'synthdefs/spA0.scsyndef'
exception in GrafDef_Load: UGen '
f' not installed.
while reading file 'synthdefs/spA0.scsyndef'

</x-tad-smaller>i feel like there is something i'm missing, perhaps something unrelated to these errors. they are really cryptic messages though, i have done much digging around in list archives and found some references, but nothing which pinpoints exactly what might be happening. if anyone has some pointers, they would be much appreciated.
