One of our thoughts was to use FAUST so that we could easily support a variety of platforms: http://faust.grame.fr/index.php/documentation/references/12-documentation/reference/52-arch-files-reference-art We ended for a variety of reasons (mostly manpower!!), we went straight for a SuperCollider3 implementation. FAUST has an online tool, which is useful to have a look: http://faust.grame.fr/index.php/online-examples > Does anybody around here have any ideas of how to produce something like > that?
