Thanks for the report. It looks like your user home folder has Unicode in the path. The Rack log is mangling the pathname (see below), can you share what the folder should be named? It seems likely that either Rack or the plug-in (or both) is not handling the path correctly, and as a result the Teletype firmware is not loading.

[20.366 warn src/common/core/FirmwareManager.cpp:193 load] Failed to load library C:/Users/João/Documents/Rack2/plugins-win-x64/monome/res/firmware/teletype.dll: 126

If you can share the correct name I can try to reproduce the problem and see if it’s fixable with an update to the plug-in.

Thanks for the quick support, the name would be " João "

I created a folder with the module files in this path and it worked as it should, thanks to your feedback, thank you very much

[Dewb]

Great! I will look into addressing this more comprehensively in a future update!
