Program PC Sound Card

[Mike Newman]

Does anyone know if it is possible to program the PC's sound card using
Visual Studio.NET in basic? If so, how can I get some information?

I just want to sound notes of a specified frequency either melodically in
sequence or simultaneously in a chord.

Thanks
Mike

Maybe this will help.

Thanks a lot for this Ken.
Please can you tell me where I could find some documentation or explanation?
It looks as if it might be a great help,
but I need some info on how to use it.
Thanks again
Mike

Hi,

Did you notice there is a sample application contained inside a zip
file called miditest.zip.

I must have done something wrong.
When I try to open MidiTest with Visual Studio I get the error message

"Unable to read the project file 'CarlsMidiTools.vbproj'
The system cannot find the path specified."

I unzipped both CarlsMIDITools.zip and MidiTest.zip
and some files were overwritten by Miditest.
I also tried putting Miditest into it's own directory,
but I still get the same error message.

The file 'CarlsMidiTools.vbproj is certainly in the directory...
Any ideas???

Sorry to be a nuisance
Mike

Hi,

When you open the mdi test project it gives the error that unable to
find project. Go ahead and remove the carlsmiditools.vbproj from the
solution. Then add a reference to carlsmiditools.dll.
