Simple Examples
Let’s start with some really simple one-line examples of FAUST program. Here is a first example that produces silence:
process = 0;The second example is a little bit more sophisticated and copies the input signal to the output signal. It involves the _ (underscore) primitive that denotes the identity function on signals (that is a simple audio cable for a sound engineer):
process = _;Another very simple example is the conversion of a two-channel stereo signal into a one-channel mono signal using the + primitive that adds two signals together:
process = +;Most FAUST primitives are analogue to their C counterpart on numbers, but lifted to signals. For example the FAUST primitive sin operates on a signal X by applying the C function sin to each sample X(t) of X. In other words sin transforms an input signal X into an output signal Y such that Y (t) = sin(X(t)). All C numerical functions have their counterpart in FAUST. Some signal processing primitives are specific to FAUST. For example the delay operator @ takes two input signals: X (the signal to be delayed) and D (the delay to be applied), and produces an output signal Y such that Y (t) = X(t − D(t)).

Famous quotes containing the words simple and/or examples:
“We may prepare food for our children, chauffeur them around, take them to the movies, buy them toys and ice cream, but nothing registers as deeply as a simple squeeze, cuddle, or pat on the back. There is no greater reassurance of their lovability and worth than to be affectionately touched and held.”
—Stephanie Martson (20th century)
“It is hardly to be believed how spiritual reflections when mixed with a little physics can hold people’s attention and give them a livelier idea of God than do the often ill-applied examples of his wrath.”
—G.C. (Georg Christoph)
