	I heard of another language called FAUST and I want to get my hands on it but don't know how. those tar.gz files don't help even though I can open them. It's supposed to work on Windows but I just can't figure it out. -- View this message in context: http://csound.1045644.n5.nabble.com/ever-heard-of-FAUST-and-how-do-you-get-it-to-work-windows-7-tp5717703.html Sent from the Csound - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

	Hello, last time I looked, the Windows binaries were for an older version. They have an online compiler on their website that you can use, whatever your system may be, so that may be a good place to start exploring the language. As a beginner in programming, I find that their language is totally different from the imperative way of doing things in CSound, or C. I started working on their introduction material some months ago, and while Faust seems very promising, I had a hard time wrapping my mind around the language and expand on the tutorial level examples. After trying a few things, I decided it was maybe a bit too much of a leap for me, and started to learn Scheme in order to come to grips with the functionnal way of doing things that is also used in Faust. I'll give it an other go when I feel more confident with functional programming. Your mileage will of course vary, and I certainly don't want to put you off from having a go at it. If you can lay your hands on a Linux computer, you'll find that Faust may already be part of the distribution you'll be using, or that the source may be built without too much hassle. I tried building Faust on Win7 last year, and never managed to do so, even by using the VC++ project that can be found on their site. There was also a project to compile Faust using the Qt IDE, and that didn't work for me either. You can open .tar.gz files on windows by using 7zip. Hope that helps. Alexandre.

	well I tried to get on the faust users mailing list but my browser sais that my default mail client is not properly installed. What do I do? -- View this message in context: http://csound.1045644.n5.nabble.com/ever-heard-of-FAUST-and-how-do-you-get-it-to-work-windows-7-tp5717703p5717705.html Sent from the Csound - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

The web browser / computer you are using does not have the "default mail client" setup, hence the browser does not know how to launch your email program. How to set this up depends on the OS, web browser and email programs you use. You might find an option to set this up in the internet options of your web browser. Alternatively, try to see if it is a list server like CSound's, if so it will have an email address to which you email a subscribe request. All the best, Jacques

	I have to admit that their online compiler is one of the coolest things I've seen in a while! Makes me kind of want to learn faust...

	Buy why no Csound output format?

	Why not just use the on-line compiler? No need to download anything, apart from the generated binaries. If your code compiles Ok that is..

	I find the on-line compiler confusing. I see the code but I can't get sound out of it. What do I click on? -- View this message in context: http://csound.1045644.n5.nabble.com/ever-heard-of-FAUST-and-how-do-you-get-it-to-work-windows-7-tp5717703p5717715.html Sent from the Csound - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

	As far as I know Faust doesn't work like Csound. When you run Faust code, Faust generates C++ code which can then be compiled into binary data in the form of a Pure Data object, a VST library, etc. users then open Pd for example, and experiment with the binary object. If they wish to change some aspect of the object they just rewrite some of their code and rebuild. It might sound long-winded but in the demos I've seen of Faust in action it's all quite fast.
