I havn't played with Lash before, and didn't realise that you had to start the 
lash daemon with "lashd" before you launched Tapeutape. Anyway this is what I 
get now when running lashd.

$ lashd
JACK tmpdir identified as [/dev/shm]
No supported SIMD instruction sets detected
Connected to JACK server with client name 'LASH_Server'
Opened ALSA sequencer with client ID 129
Listening for connections

Then I launch Tapeutape (GUI) from the desktop launcher, and this output is 
added.

Created project project-1 in directory /home/djmons/audio-projects/project-1
Added client 1a905438-814c-4a6a-b203-5662f7c25dca of class Tapeutape to 
project project-1
Client 1a905438-814c-4a6a-b203-5662f7c25dca set its name to 'Tapeutape'

Now, using the menu, I navigate to example.tap, and get the following output.

Well. No more output showing in Konsole, but Messages on the GUI says.

Loading /home/djmons/Downloads/Tapeutape/tapeutape-0.0.5/example.tap
Loading Samples
Problem loading sample ./son1.flac

The GUI shows a split screen with setup1, and setup2. Setup1 shows kit1, and 
setup2 shows kit2, with kit1 below it.

Looking in Qjackctl's "Connect" there is nothing showing.

I only got into this to help the OP out with a guide to installing Tapeutape, 
but am now feeling involved in seeing it working.

A question:

What does this line mean when I started lashd?
No supported SIMD instruction sets detected

Nigel.
