3. Re: MIDI and audio programing

Hello, thank for answer...

I want to do some kind of VST plug in, under Windows XP. I
realy don't know if it is realy posible... I get some information to do it
In C++, but I don't now C++, and I don't want to learn, becouse Euphoria es
better(easyest for me at least)
So I need some information about how to send audio (not a wav file, this is
easy with win32lib).
The program I trying to to should generate a audio signal from a function,
but how can I send it to the sound card or mci or whatever?
Also I need information about reading midi signals, from a midi keybord or 
any similar device. I get some at msnd.com or something like that... I 
don't remember exactly where... but I don't now if this information will be
useful for me...
I'll thank any information (and useful code) you, and anybody con send me.
Thank a lot for you time. Pablo Fernández.

I have been trying to do basically the same thing, on windows and on linux.
Unfortunately, there aren't any good euphoria wrappers that i know of for just
simple audio streaming and midi i/o. There are a few that people use for games
and stuff, though. I tried wrapping the windows api audio functions (on msdn),
but it's very confusing. Same with ALSA on linux.

As you can see by the response to your question, apparently no one is really
interesting in making good audio api wrappers for euphoria. sad

My answer:

Thank for your answer. Do you think I should leave this proyect??
I think I don't have enought force, time and determination yo make ALL by 
myself. And I see that no body have the info that I need. And Api, as you know,
is very confusing. Or should I learn C++? I find lots of information in C++,
good code and more resource that maybe will be useful for me...
The only bad point is that I can't fully understand it.
Is there any C++ to euphoria translator or something like that??
Thank you a lot, Pablo
