hello

I'd love to start programming basic synthesizers; I used to code some sound fx for the pc speaker, using short intervals en oscillating frequencies. Now for years I've been wanting low level access to the soundcard.

How would I go about triggering for example a sine wave, with adjustable frequency and duration, preferably changeable in other ways as well (amplitude, waveform,..)?
Any noise will do ;p but I'd like to avoid using samples and altering those..
How do you address the soundcard to make a specific tone or sound?

This can be in any language, but I'm most proficient in Python & VB.NET
tx in advance

The Steinberg VST or ASIO SDKs would be perfect. However, I currently cannot seem to find them on the Steinberg website. With a bit of luck and googling you should be able to track them down.
