Hello everyone , sorry for my english in advance.

i'm tryng the beta and i really like the software , i would like to learn how to extend studio 2 (i assume that right now it's not possible while in beta) for making it communicate with ableton software and midi files.
i used unity for 4 years (c#) and gml but it's just a hobby for me , i'm actually a musician.
it would be possibile? what should i study for learn that kind of things and what resources should i look for?

Thank you :3

I used to have an experimental integration for an old DLL called Digital Midi on 1.4.1757, but something in window_handle() broke it the version after and I can't get it working again. Maybe I'll try something tonight to see if it can be brought back, but no guarantees.

Edit: Still not working. If anyone knows how window_handle() now works post-1.4.1760, PM me.

window_handle() still just returns the HWND though it is now a PTR type so should be passed into an extension as a string (and then in the C++ just cast it to an HWND), this is to support x64 DLL's as an HWND is actually a pointer.
