Hi all, I literally started with FAUST only a couple of days ago so I apologise in advance in case those questions have been already answered elsewhere.
I've been trying to build a simple drum synth plugin for a month or so entirely in C++/JUCE when I heard about FAUST and how it can be used to prototype the DSP part of a plugin and then compile it down to C++. After reading some introduction and tutorials, I decided to give it a go so I am now basically rewriting my plugin in FAUST, which I'll then integrate into JUCE once I'm happy with it. Here's question one: for my envelopes, I am using the library function ` en.ar` (https://faust.grame.fr/libraries.html#en.ar) which works perfectly for percussive sounds (as it's basically a "one shot" envelope, once you send the trigger it will play the whole envelope, ignoring how long you keep the trigger pressed). Now, this is good, but I see on the documentation that there is also an exponential version, `en.are` (https://faust.grame.fr/libraries.html#en.are), which I think would be even better for the type of sound I want. I tried using that, but it seem to behave differently from the linear version (` en.ar`). I'm not sure how to explain it, but it does not behave as "one shot"; if I keep the trigger pressed, the sound continues. But apart from this, I also have the impression that the `release` parameter is kind of ignored (but I may be wrong). Am I missing something there or is it a bug? And, in general, how can I achieve a simple Attack-Release percussion-style envelope with exponential segments? Finally a more generic question: I've been using the online FAUST editor so far which I reckon is very convenient especially when starting out or writing little definitions. However I feel that now that what I'm doing is growing in size, I'd benefit from local developed environment. I took a look at the materials available online and if I understand correctly there are several ways to use FAUST, from the command line, to the online tools, to the FaustWorks and FaustLive IDEs etc. but now I am a bit confused because I'm not sure which one is the most up to date, or the most used/maintained/recommended etc.. Moreover, I am unfortunately on Windows 10 which I suppose it may not be the most convenient platform to develop on. So my question can probably be summarized as: what are some popular choices for development environments and workflow on Windows? Thank you very much. Cheers, Daniele
