Tutorial 2: Using Audiopath Objects

This tutorial is a guide to setting up a DirectMusic performance and retrieving an object—in this case, a 3-D buffer—from an audiopath so that sound parameters can be changed. The tutorial is presented in the following steps:

• Step 1: Create the Audiopath
• Step 2: Retrieve the Buffer
• Step 3: Change Buffer Parameters

The complete sample code for the tutorial is available in the following folder:

\Dxsdk\Samples\Multimedia\DirectMusic\Tutorials\Tut2

Note   If you installed the DirectX SDK in a different root directory, substitute the name of that directory for "Dxsdk" in the path.

It is assumed that you have already learned the basic steps of creating the performance and loader objects, and loading and playing a file. These steps are covered in Tutorial 1: Playing Audio Files.
