  Regarding FaustLive, do you know that we

 Imagine a electronic circuit designer could create a plug schematic

 Faust rocks!<B0>! 
 Okay, so you get to hear what your simulation sounds like.
It won't
 sound even remotely like real hardware.  Circuit simulation only
 tells you how your circuit behaves in a simulator - it does not in
 any way resemble real-life results. 
 Unless you run a full SPICE model, including
all the imperfections
 of all components - non-linearities,  parasitic capacitance and
 inductance, memory and thermal effects, etc. etc. And then
 1. it isn't easy anymore,
 2. it very probably won't run in real time.
 
 ... and even then, it still does not behave anything like a real-world circuit.
 All circuit simulation is more-or-less worthlessly inaccurate.
