Hello all, this is my first post.

I want, for my Bachelor's Degree Diploma, to develop a simple synth in the Visual C# environment; as I am sure that it is not the best, or more efficient option, I want to prove that something like this can be developed in such a privileged environment.

Unfortunately, I am stuck at the first hurdle, basically reproducing a sound. I have read this THIS ARTICLE , but I haven't been able to make it work. I'm not sure, in this case, what "sample" represents, and I get an unhandled ArgumentException at the declaration of the secondary buffer. Does anyone know how to make that example properly work?

I would like to know if there is some other article explaining how to generate a simple tone (sine, square, or any other) in C#, or any other resource from where to start.

I can't necessarily help you, but I am glad you recognize that C# is one of the worst choices you could make to build real-time synthesizers with. I do hope, in the your future endeavors after graduation, you don't choose to perpetuate such a bloated environment, for any software. It's my opinion that these types of dev. envrionments are the reason my old Commodore64 ran @ 16MHz, with 64KB of memory, could load & run a MIDI seq/synth program off of a 31kHz serial attach floppy, and took the same amount of time to load the same function as my new 2GHz laptop with 1.5Gb SATA drive.

I don't mean to rant, but I really am not a fan of bloatware, and don't consider C# to be privileged.

That said, I'm sure it's entirely possible, as there are plenty of Java/non-native language synthesizers out there.
