Does anyone at least have a URL for me to go to?

Does anyone USE DirectMusic?

I am trying to get DirectMusic to do some REALLY simple output, and I am having a hell of a time.

I want to be able to play a certain note at a certain time without worrying about key signatures, tempos, chord maps, etc. I don't want to play a MIDI file or anything like that, just simple notes.

I have looked at the SDK, and I see how to call a SendPMsg to the Performance object, but that worries to much about all the above mentioned items. I just want a simple MIDI style message, and I can't find any samples to do this.

I basically want to create a program that helps people learn guitar chords and scales.

If anyone has ANY ideas on how something like this is done, let me know.

Thanks

I have also tried to reason with direct music and have come to one conclusion... it blows! big time! It think it would be alot easier to write your own player.

good luck with your efforts.
