This program has ALOT to offer... it contains a class I wrote that holds the binary structure of a wave, allows for creation of random wave files that conform to wave/riff file specifications. It then takes those generated wave file samples and converts them to a direct sound pcm format, it then changes the frequency of the direct sound secondary buffer according to which key you press, using the good ole twelfth root of two equal tempered tuning formula. It plays(loops) the generated sample WAVE from RAM, at the frequency of the piano key pressed(while the key is down). Displays graphically customizable waveform and later will be upgraded features such as "play selection" or "Use selection as loop sample". Later features I am hoping to add will also include a graphical interface for drawing wave cycles. Currently it is possible to generate practically infinite random different tabre sounds for the keyboard. Includes a "dragtoy" for ease of playing around with the keyboard. There is so much going on in this keyboard that this small description I have written does not do it proper justice.
