Tech Talk – Cakewalk SONAR: Win32 lighting up on Windows 10
A heads up for anyone attending the Microsoft Build conference in Seattle this year. Cakewalk and Microsoft are doing a tech talk demonstrating how Win32 applications can take advantage of some of the advancements on the Windows 10 platform. This is the only presentation at Build that focuses on media, audio and MIDI. There are two tech talks scheduled, on Thursday 5/11 2:30PM (Tech Talk C room) and Friday 5/12 10:30AM (Tech Talk C room).
In the tech talks we’ll cover topics such as:
- UWP MIDI API with a hands on demo of how to integrate the UWP Win32 wrapper with a Win32 application
- Bluetooth LE MIDI
- Windows 10 WASAPI low latency audio support
- Multi-Touch and Pen support
- UWP desktop bridge
- At the talks we’ll be doing a live debug session of SONAR showing code integrating UWP MIDI.
I may convince Pete Brown from Microsoft to jam on a Bluetooth MIDI controller with SONAR in that session, and we’ll trace the life cycle of a MIDI note which should be fun 🙂
On Friday between 12 and 3pm, we’re also doing a 3 hour “Solutions Spotlight” which will be a more open format permitting discussion with participants about the topics we’re presenting.
If you’re going to be at Build please stop by or if you know someone attending please let them know about these sessions. The full builds session agenda can be found here as well: https://mybuild.microsoft.com/sessions
