I suggest you to use DirectCsound, if you are using Windows 95/98. With
DirectCsound it is possible to have real-time sound output during
instrument rendering & have that sound written to a file at the same
time (see documentation). Another way to do this is to use the fout
opcode (see manual).

The controller opcodes are ctrl7  (see manual). initc7 only initializes
its value.
