Steve, I'm excited about this and I'm getting the impression that you are excited too and that this might've caused you to forget that not everyone here may know what Faust is; http://faust.grame.fr/ ;¬) I haven't touched it myself yet but I keep hearing good things about Faust, it seems especially popular with our friends in the SC world who use it to make custom externals, for example when they need certain forms of feedback. I was getting the impression it's fairly friendly in usage, at least in so far as tools to generate C++ code for DSP usage can be "friendly". I hope that clarifies why this is so cool. I hope, BTW, that you are using this excellent opportunity to tell everybody who asks what you are up to that you are "working on a script about Faust meeting Dracula". It's too good to pass up on! Cheers, Kas.
