Thread: need help with my jazz improvisation program

ok so here is my problem
i have to make a program that improvises jazz music

this is my loop

Code:

do
	{
	music(transposition, tempo);
	piano(transposition, tempo);
	}

	while(kbhit() !=1);

music function plays a random note for a random time
and piano does the same, but with a random chord

currently they play one after the other
but i need to know how to get both functions running together

i dunno if you can make 2 simultaneous loops or something

any help guys??

much appreciated, Ben

im running windows xp

i have no idea wat threads are though

If you don't care about portability, you could use the simple PlaySound function from the Win32 API (keep in mind it's limited to .wav files only). It also let's you play more than one audio file concurrently. But to do so, thouh, you would have to create a Win32 Console Application Project first. What compiler are you using? Oh,.. and, you only need one loop - not two.

If portability is a concern, I would probably look into FMOD.

im playing the sounds through the midi module, using a library that the university has
