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:
“And would you be a poet
Before you’ve been to school?
Ah, well! I hardly thought you
So absolute a fool.
First learn to be spasmodic—
A very simple rule.
For first you write a sentence,
And then you chop it small;
Then mix the bits, and sort them out
Just as they chance to fall:
The order of the phrases makes
No difference at all.”
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
“In the examples that I here bring in of what I have [read], heard, done or said, I have refrained from daring to alter even the smallest and most indifferent circumstances. My conscience falsifies not an iota; for my knowledge I cannot answer.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
