c++ - Audio plugins. Mapping MIDI to audio files -

i reasonably experienced programmer pretty inexperienced c++ , brand new creating plugins.

thus far have looked http://martinfinke.de/blog/tags/making_audio_plugins.html seems incredibly dated, i'm hitting whole load of compilation issues , don't know legacy sdks mean had exact same set author using.

i have looked juce there isn't vast amount of resources out there can find.

what trying create plugin, vst (will @ compatibility other vendors later) maps midi input audio file partner, sound engineer, has created. have enough samples randomising , various velocities

i highly recommend working way through juce tutorials or watching through juce videos the audio programmer on youtube started on juce. whilst first tutorials not produce audio plugins, components used within them crucial 'building blocks' creating full plugin.

when you're happy creating basic gui elements , how audio can played/ synthesised within both audio app , audio plug-in projects, recommend try building smallest part of plugin can and, getting working , building upon it. suggest starting how load audio file buffer (take @ looping audio tutorial) once complete case of using tutorials again create , handle midi data.
