I'm looking for about 10-20 tones or chords for instruments to make a sort of music making software. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Why not use rudolphos midi plugin? This would be alot faster for creating any music software.

If you trying to record tones to make an editor then i suggest using a midi editor and sound recorder software to record single tones to wav files.

(That method i find not as good) If your using darkbasic pro then id just use the midi plugin.

You could always check up the Modplug Tracker / Impulse Tracker communities out there. It is possible to extract the samples (.wav files) they use from them. Of course, you hardly come by any good-quality sounds that way though; for these you have to pay... Also, if you do that, you will of course not be allowed to include them with your own music-making program.

If you are just after some descent sounds, then I agree that you could use the midiOut features to broadcast over the Microsoft Softsynth (default midi sound bank of Windows systems; everybody has one). It can however also be used with any other device supporting MIDI, like a hardware synthesizer or some software sampler on your system.
