[OT] emulating a hardware synth

[Tyler Littlefield]

shane, LP is just a pointer. You can use const char*, though const may not 
work. and int would work for interupt. Check the windows API 
documentation--they have about 500000 different types of variables that are 
all typedefed to int long short char* etc etc.
