Persistent Faust|BETA

Demo : {See video at top of page}

Persistent Faust is not simply an effector that performs a single fixed function. It is an innovative 'chameleon-style programmable DSP platform' that completely transforms its form and purpose in real-time according to the user's imagination and needs. It provides an infinite canvas that allows you to realize ideas straight out of your head into actual sound right within your DAW session, without the need for complex audio programming or setting up external development environments.

Persistent Faust alone can replace dozens or hundreds of plugins. Going beyond basic EQs and compressors, you can design and save unique modulation techniques or experimental hybrid effects that cannot be found in existing commercial plugins. The GPT Assistant(Web) is built into the plugin. Instruct GPT to create the plugins you want, share your experiences, and improve them. You can create your own presets and share them with the community.

The most interesting thing is that even if you don't know how to code, or don't want to, you have already obtained 512 audio plugins for free through the default presets.

Web-Integrated Custom GPT for Maximized Accessibility

Instead of forcibly embedding a heavy proprietary AI engine within the plugin, Persistent Faust has adopted the most intuitive and practical approach. It provides a GPT Assistant button within the plugin UI and instantly loads 'Persistent Faust Coder' a dedicated custom GPT with pre-prepared instructions optimized for audio DSP and Faust language writing via the web.

Users simply need to request the desired sound or plugin via ChatGPT. By entering prompts such as "Make a tape delay with vintage saturation" or "Make a vintage optical compressor," the custom GPT suggests the exact Faust code that matches your intent. This completely breaks down the barrier to coding, providing an environment where anyone can weave their own audio effects using only prompts.

(Note: ChatGPT does not simply output the code we have pre-trained; instead, it analyzes the user's intent, purpose, and philosophy to generate code. Additionally, due to the nature of the ChatGPT service, there may be discrepancies in response and code quality between free and paid accounts.)

Zero-Friction Real-Time Compilation

Magic happens the moment you paste code obtained from the prompt or your own custom Faust code algorithm into the 'CODE' view and press the compile button. In just a few seconds, the code is analyzed, the plugin's audio engine is reconfigured, and it transforms into an effect that perfectly matches your input purpose. (Just like a chameleon.) It boasts overwhelming speed, allowing you to instantly test and apply new ideas without interrupting your creative flow in any way.

Automatically Generated Modern UI Capturing Both Analog Sensibility and Precision

As soon as the code compiles successfully, an intuitive user interface based on a sophisticated dark theme is automatically generated. Pressing the GUI button clearly displays the precise numerical values of parameters as text at the bottom of each slider to support modern workflows requiring precise control, while maintaining the sensibility of analog mixing that focuses on sound rather than visual elements.

Furthermore, parameters are neatly arranged in a grid format, and meters are provided by default on the right side to monitor Input (IN), Internal DSP, and Output (OUT) levels in real-time, allowing you to grasp the status of the processed audio signal at a glance.

An Infinite Sound Design Ecosystem

Persistent Faust alone can replace dozens or hundreds of plugins. Beyond basic EQs or compressors, you can design and save unique modulation techniques or experimental hybrid effects that cannot be found in existing commercial plugins.

We are now in an era where anyone can create their own programs through AI-powered coding.(VibeCoding) Riding this wave, Persistent Faust aims to usher in a completely new paradigm for audio production and sound design, ushering in an era where anyone can develop their own signature sound tools.
