At the moment there is one tool present, faustwatch.py
Faustwatch is a tool that observes a .dsp file used by the dsp language FAUST. If the file is changed (saved after editing):
- the blockdiagram can be automatically shown in the default browser
- the impulse response can be plotted in the time domain
- the impulse response can be plotted in the frequency domain.
- the time and frequency domain plots of the last saved version are always visible so the current and last saved version can be compared.
- the impulse response is played back via pyo and Jack Audio
Basically it is supposed to make FAUST development faster.
Here you can see it in action:
This has only been tested under Linux and with python 3.6.3. It requires a number of standared libraries such as numpy,scipy:
- numpy 1.15.4
- scipy 1.1.0
and it requires some more uncommon libraries:
- pyo 0.9.0
- pyqtgraph 0.10.0
- pyinotify 0.9.6
- pyzmq 17.1.2
This tool has not been tested with other versions of these libraries. Of course there is a good chance it will work just fine with newer versions of these.
The file config.py has to be changed in order to make sure that:
- the architecture file for offline processing can be found.
- the right python executable is used to start the plotting process.
usage: faustwatch [-h] [--svg] [--ir] [--af AF] [--impLen IMPLEN] [--line] N
Watch a dsp file for changes and take a specific action.
positional arguments:
N Path to a .dsp file
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--svg Make an svg block diagram and open it.
--ir Get impulse response and plot it.
--af AF Send through audio file.
--impLen IMPLEN Length of impulse. Default is unit impulse, so 1.
--line Get response to line from -1 to 1. So input-output
amplitude relationship. Useful for plotting transfer
functions of non-linearities
