@d-healey your fork has some nice optimizations! I've compiled using fftw3 and faust. I've modified the dsp.h faust type file to include <cstdint>
and while the compile went through... I am still hitting the same issue related to the graphics.

I can report that HISE loads much quicker now!

I have the feeling that there is something wrong on my vm system since I am hitting a bunch of bugs and errors related to building HISE and Faust.
