- audio applications and plugins

-
-1/ Introduction
-----------------
-FAUST (Functional Audio Stream) is a functional programming
-language specifically designed for real-time signal processing and
-synthesis. A distinctive characteristic of FAUST is to be fully
-compiled.
-
-The FAUST compiler translates DSP specifications into
-very efficient C++ code that works at sample level. It targets
-high-performance signal processing applications, libraries and
-audio plug-ins for a variety of audio platforms and standards. A
-same FAUST specification can be used to easily generate native
-JACK or ALSA applications, as well as CSOUND, LADSPA, MAX/MSP, PD,
-Q, SC and VST plugins.
-
-
-2/ Organisation of the distribution
------------------------------------
-The Faust distribution can be downloaded at:
- http://sourceforge.net/projects/faudiostream
-
-It's organisation is the following :
-
- architecture/ : the architecture files and libraries
- currently supported
- benchmark/ : tools to measure the impact of various
- compiler options
- compiler/ : sources of the Faust compiler
- documentation / : Faust developer's documentation
- examples/ : examples of Faust programs with makefiles
- for various audio targets
- syntax-highlighting/: support for syntax highlighting for
- several editors
- tools/ : Additional easy-to-use scripts to
- produce binaries and plugins
-
-
-3/ Compilation and installation
---------------------------------
-To compile and install the Faust compiler on Linux and MacOSX :
-
- make
- su
- make install
-or
- sudo make install
-
-It could be also useful to install additional tools, for example :
-
- cd tools/faust2appls/
- sudo make install
-
-On Windows :
-
-The first option is to use the Visual Studio 2008 solution
-/faust/compiler/windows/faust_vs2008.sln. Open the solution with
-the Visual Studio 2008 environment and run Build. Both
-Debug/Release targets are supported.
-
-The second solution is to download and install the QT4.6 SDK :
- http://qt.nokia.com/downloads/sdk-windows-cpp
-and use the project file 'compiler.pro' in the compiler folder.
-
-
-2/ Compilation of the examples
--------------------------------
-Several FAUST examples are provided in the example folder. To
-compile and test the examples with Jack/GTK do :
-
- cd examples
- make jackgtk
-
-This will create a subfolder jackgtkdir with all the jack
-applications. You can also create alsa applications (make alsagtk)
-as well as other formats.
-
-In order to compile your own applications, you can simply place you
-files in the example folder and use the existing makefiles.
-
-To list for possible audio targets :
-
- make help
-
-About 20 different audio plateforms are supported :
-
-- Action Script
-- Alsa
-- ChucK
-- CoreAudio
-- CSOUND
-- iPhone
-- Jack
-- LADSPA
-- Matlab
-- MaxMSP
-- Octave
-- OSS
-- PortAudio
-- Pure
-- PureData
-- Q
-- Sndfile
-- Snd-RT
-- SuperCollider
-- SynthFile
-- VST
-- VSTi (mono)
-
-For all these audio platforms you may have to install the related
-SDK and/or development libraries.
