FaustLive suggestions

Post by juhana »

I'm looking for modular synth similar to Reaktor. Windows; GNU/Linux distributions does not install to my Windows 8 :(

FaustLive Windows feedback:

(1) Registration to Windows Visual C++ is required and creation does not work for that reason. Note: I already have some Visual C++, and I also have Qt Creator. No more should be needed.

(2) FaustLive tried to install french version of Visual C++. Had to do "kill -KILL" with Windows process browser to stop it being installed. FaustLive installed ok.

(3) Example instruments opened too large window. Controls were hidden by bottom panel. The window could not be resized. I don't blame, in Linux, I could not use Ardour because it opened too large window as well, outside the screen. I have coded Linux audio too: because I use OpenGL, I'm able to shrink the window to any size without changing the layout - everything is just smaller. Do the same if existing GUI toolkits cannot provide GUI scaling.
