This repository hosts FAUSTmapper, a tool for binding popular Digital Musical Intrument (DMI) mapping tools to the FAUST ecosystem.
The default action for the FAUSTmapper project is establishing a binding to the libmapper project. When the script is run, the entire parameter space of an active FAUST project (with HTTP control enabled) will be discovered. Once discovered, a libmapper signal will be created for each of the parameters identified, including appropriate meta data such as min, max & default values.
To run the script, use the following command:
./faustmapper.pyFAUSTmapper also supports establishing a binding to the Wekinator project.
To run the script, use the following command:
./faustmapper.py --mapping-target wekinatorThe FAUSTmapper project requires that a FAUST synthesizer or other DSP project is running locally on your machine with HTTP control.
FAUST has made tooling avaliable to compile .dsp files to various platforms. For instance, to compile for use with JACK Audio, use the faust2jack tool, as follows:
faust2jack -httpd -midi -nvoices 8 simplesynth.dspWhich will compile the simplesynth project, with both HTTP and MIDI control with 8 voices of polyphony. For more FAUST compilation options, see the faust2... tools documentation.
This is an ongoing project, the following is a todo list of development tasks that would improve the usability of FAUSTmapper.
- Documentation
run.shtype script to make the entire process work via a single command.- Run FAUST Synth
- Connect via
faustmapper.py - Ensure everything is up and running.
- Demos & Examples
