Compiling Differentiable Audio Graphs to Real-Time DSP
Differentiable audio processors are habitually designed and optimised in machine-learning frameworks, but deploying them as real-time audio effects still often requires non-automatic implementation in a dedicated digital signal processing language. The translation is error-prone, demands an onerous verification process, and detaches research prototypes from usable production tools. That being so, we present ADAC, a compiler that lowers a trained model to a framework-agnostic intermediate representation and emits efficient FAUST code whose impulse response matches the source model to within floating-point arithmetic noise, direct paths included. The optimisation loop is made audible by replacing the model in a running plugin after each gradient step. The exported processor carries a small set of macro-controls that leave its stability intact. A stability certificate computed from the shipped parameters is checked before the plugin is built. At the demonstration, a feedback delay network is trained and exported to a working plugin.
