Hello to all! I finally pulled my OWL pedal off the shelf where it had been sitting for the two or three years since I bought it, and I’m now kicking myself for not doing it earlier! So this is my first week with OWL and FAUST–please bear with me…
First, building from FAUST requires a fix to OwlProgram/FaustCode/owl.cpp. There’s a typo in the README as well. I don’t have permission to make a pull request, but I’ve included the patch below.
Second, I want to confirm that the knobs on the OWL are normalized from 0 to 1. When I run a sample riff through faust2sndfile with the “knobs” set to 0.5, I get a noticeably different sound than running through the OWL with all the knobs at 12 o’clock. Obviously, this may be some mistake that I’m making in FAUST.
Here is the patch:
