hi zoinky,
thanks(for the encouragement). i've been told that.
thing is, i'd planned to dedicate some time to learning
c++ a couple of years ago, and then stuff went a
bit crazy, so i had to shelve that, and i'm trying to
finish a synthedit project which is devouring my(permitted, lol)
computer-time! so maybe i'll have a crack at some basics in a
couple of months, like starting with producing a noise from an
osc etc. then i'll have to go and plunder the DSP sites for code
examples, digest those, find the ones i like, sort them, and set
up my work PC for it all...
thing is, i have some sequencer related project in synthedit, and
really like that environment, and would like to build some modules
to provide me with tight sequencers, etc. the real appeal of DSP is
to get plugins to run efficiently, as i'm starting to produce cpu
hogs. i've been told that visual basic is a similar modular-type
interface, but i haven't been keen to disturb my (already fragile
and mucked up) OS with a big installation trip, and can't quite face
the backup and re-install i know i must do sometime. i'd almost
rather buy a new laptop... ;op

Of course I haven't done any C++ coding since then so I would have to start over, but the learning curve is not nearly as steep as you might think... as long as you know what you're trying to accomplish, the coding becomes obvious. And in most cases someone has already done what you want, and you just have to copy and integrate the functions.
