Personally I use both -- the IDE more often when I want to mock something up quickly or work with the in-browser scope, and an external text editor plus command-line scripts when I want to work on a more complex project. > okay, can someone tell me if this is right?: this Bela is this board from TI:�http://www.ti.com/tool/beaglebk with an IDE from�http://faust.grame.fr/about/ or Bela *is* that IDE that implements a realization of FAUST. and you have to run this with a Linux machine, but it's agnostic regarding Fedora vs. Umbutu. -- r b-j � � � � � � � � �r...@audioimagination.com "Imagination is more important than knowledge." �
