Soundfile Input for Standalone FAUST Applications

JACK standalone apps read and write JACK ports which are easily connected to other JACK-compatible sound sources/sinks via qjackctl in Linux or Jack Pilot on a Mac (see §8 and §6 for other examples of using JACK to connect audio streams).

Thus, to feed a soundfile to a standalone FAUST app, run any program that can output a soundfile on a JACK port (such as pd), and connect the programs JACK output ports to the FAUST app input ports using the connect/routing GUI interface of qjackctl or Jack Pilot.

The following convenience scripts are distributed with FAUST:²¹

• faust2jack - make a JACK-GTK standalone app
• faust2jaqt - make a JACK-Qt standalone app
• faust2jackconsole - make a JACK console standalone app (no local GUI)
