Generating Other Applications and Plugins

The faust compiler translates the FAUST language to C++. Using its architecture files (written in C++) and convenience scripts (such as faust2jaqt), working tests, applications, and plugins can be quickly generated from FAUST source. Above we looked at using faust2plot, faust2matlabplot, faust2firefox, faust2octave, faust2jaqt, and faust2jack on a simple example. There are many others. For the latest list, cd to the faust/tools/faust2appls/ directory and list its contents. At the time of this writing (May 2020), the result is as follows:

These shell scripts are easily read to find out how each one works. Check out in particular the options supported (each script should accept a -h option that prints out a summary of options supported).

Additional information is found in the faust/examples directory. See also the FAUST Libraries documentation somewhere under https://faust.grame.fr/.¹⁷
