Faust

Henrik von Coler

Faust is a functional audio programming language, developed at GRAME, Lyon. It is a community-driven, free open source project. Faust is specifically suited for quickly designing musical synthesis and processing software and compiling it for a large variety of targets. The fastest way for getting started with Faust in the Faust online IDE which allows programming and testing code in the browser, without any installation. The online materials for the class Sound Synthesis- Building Instruments with Faust introduce the basics of the Faust language and give examples for different synthesis techniques.

Faust and Web Audio

Besides many targets, Faust can also be used to create ScriptProcessor nodes (Letz, 2015).
