Re: [Faudiostream-users] Faust and MIDI

Nice, I didn't know that you wrote your own VST architecture Albert, that's
great! Sorry if my replies were confusing, but I was traveling during the
last couple of days and I'm catching up with my e-mails. Happy new year to
you all!

Cheers,

Romain

Re: [Faudiostream-users] FAUST: Compiling error

2016-01-07 Thread Romain Michon 
You can also try to use the faust2vst script that should do everything
automatically for you:

faust2vst yourFaustFile.dsp

The same is possible with Audio Units:

faust2au yourFaustFile.dsp

Re: [Faudiostream-users] VST support: Problem

2016-01-07 Thread Romain Michon 
There's sometimes a problem of compatibility of Faust generated VSTs when
used with 64bits versions of some DAWs. This is a known issue. The VST
architecture of Faust was upgraded about 3 years ago by Yan Michalevsky in
the frame of a class project. Yan did an awesome job at the time but the
architecture definitely needs some lifting (as everyone know, Apple keeps
updating its frameworks, etc. making compatibility a pretty big issue from
one version of OSX to another). Unfortunately I don't think that anyone is
working on that currently. The story is similar for the Audio Unit
architecture: Reza Payami did it in the frame of a class project and then
couldn't find time to work more on it or to maintain it. I asked both of
them this summer if they'd be interested to make some upgrades, etc. but
both of them are currently pretty busy. All that to say that this might
explain the problems you're encountering right now and there might not be
an immediate solution to them.

Cheers,

Romain

Re: [Faudiostream-users] VST support: Problem

I'm pretty sure that Logic (after version 5) does *not* support VST, that's
one of the main reasons why all those VST-AU bridges exist. :)

I just gave the Sibelius 7.5 demo a whirl, and its VST support indeed seems
to be broken, on the Mac at least.

AU instruments work, though, so you can use the 'MetapluginSynth' AU I
suggested in a previous reply to load the VSTs through that plugin. Have
you given it a try? I just tested it with some of the faust-vst examples,
they all work fine.
