We introduce faust2api, a tool to generate custom DSP engines for Android and iOS using the Faust programming language. Faust DSP ob jects can easily be turned into MIDI-controllable polyphonic synthesizers or audio effects with built-in sensors support, etc. The various elements of the DSP engine can be accessed through a high-level API, made uniform across platforms and languages. This paper provides technical details on the implementation of this system as well as an evaluation of its various features.
