Faust Tutorial Series Announcement

OWL
#1

After asking @mars and @antisvin I created one Faust Tutorial to help anyone to get started working with Faust and OWL. It can be found here: GitHub Repo

I am planning to turn this into a series and make more tutorials and will gladly accept ideas and requests. Feedback to the first one is also welcomed.

Have fun and make some noise!

I don’t really have requests, but plenty of ideas (maybe too much of them):

  • feedback, various options for delay syntax, how to use it for Karplus-Strong synthesis
  • panning, mixing, amplitude and loudness
  • envelope followers, compressors, side chain compression
  • making a MIDI voice
  • making a CV-controlled voice
  • audio rate modulation: AM, RM, FM, PM
  • different filter shapes
  • comb filters and allpass filters
  • wavetable oscillators (with wavetable morphing, no less!)
  • bandlimited oscillators
  • bitcrushing and samplerate reduction
  • noise, noise colors, chaotic oscillators
  • using sample buffers
  • filter banks and vocoders
  • vowel synthesis
  • physical modeling
  • most common delay based effects: delay, chorus, flanger, pitch shifter
  • allpass filter based effects: phaser, barberpole phaser, frequency shifter
  • reverbs

I think this would be enough to keep you busy writing tutorials during Covid-20 (that started from Danish minks) and at least half of Covid-21(from Mexican hedgehogs, to be announced later).

great stuff, thanks @JZerbian!

The prettier version of your tutorial on the documentation site is here: https://www.openwarelab.org/Faust/FaustTutorial1_GettingStarted.html

If you’ve got a copy of the example code in the patch library then let’s add a link to that too!

I created a patch with the finished result.

Happy New Year with a happy new Faust Tutorial. The second tutorial shows how to implement a basic VCA and how to use the CV outputs (on the Lich) with an envelope follower.

Have fun and make some noise.

Thanks for not giving up too quickly, @JZerbian! Any specific plans for the next part?

I’ve just made a PR to add index to tutorials in our main FAUST doc. So for each part you could do something like this:

  1. Create directory Faust/Tutorial/NN_TutorialName
  2. Write tutorial in Faust/Tutorial/NN_TutorialName/README.md
  3. Add a patch Faust/Tutorial/NN_TutorialName/PatchName.dsp
  4. Add tutorial link in tutorials index in Faust/README.md
  5. Link from patcher to github - I think it’s better to link to pinginasty/OpenWareLab repository in this case. This way your entries in web patcher would display latest version stored in main repo and they’ll get synchronized if we have to change anything

Great stuff, thank you both!

So with these update, the tutorials are best accessed from this page.
