Some comments on Faust and SOUL:

- you can compile Faust code to SOUL, and export it (as the .soul and .soulpatch files) from the Faust Web IDE https://faustide.grame.fr/ (or https://fausteditor.grame.fr for a simpler version)

- lower-level tools like "faust2soul" are part of the Faust distribution: https://github.com/grame-cncm/faust and https://github.com/grame-cncm/faust/tree/master-dev/architec...

- using Faust/SOUL on Bela and having SOUL as the intermediate language to JIT compile Faust code is certainly possible, but not the easiest way ! Bela developer Giulio experimented a more direct Faust JIT support on Bela (since Faust can directly generate LLVM IR code and JIT it) here: https://github.com/giuliomoro/bela-faust-jit, but this projet is a bit frozen by lack of time to improve it. Feel free to bring it to life again.

Low-Latency is one thing (now much better with AudioWorklet model), real-time rendering is another thing. With AudioWorklet the audio code now runs in a dedicated thread, but without real-time priority for now.

Concerning Faust-to-SOUL support, it is still reserved for people not afraid of installing and compiling Faust from github: https://github.com/grame-cncm/faust

Then a faust2soul script can be used to directly compile Faust DSP to SOUL source code: https://github.com/grame-cncm/faust/tree/master-dev/architec...

To be tested, the generated SOUL code can then simply be copy/pasted in the SOUL playground.
