Due to my last message being misunderstood. I will try again.

I'm James, I'm trying to write a program that emulates the Roland juno 106
synth. This is for part of my engineering degree and therefore not a 
commercial venture.
It was suggested that I looked into csound as a way of finding a means to
write my program.
At present I have lots of information regarding other peoples analogue
synth emulators, and lots of csound files.
I am using a pentium 75, 36 mb mem, and windows 3.1 (with w32s).
I now see how, that by asking can a software synth be used to make a
software synth? can lead to misunderstanding. Thanks to all those that
pointed this out, sorry if my reply was a bit short Jean, (hard to come
accross on a machine, I am new to this email stuff.
The difficulty with my research project is that I know only the basics on
programming in C, and the basics on synths. Although my synth knowledge is
rapidly expanding.
The synth will have to be controlable by midi (piano) keyboard and output
notes (sounds), chords too, as soon as a key is pressed.
So is csound the way to go? A couple of you have sort of answered this,
so thanks for your replies. This is just to clear things up for those who
misunderstood my previous message, which was a bit vague.

Bye James.
