Pulling my hair out over this program(GH2 Synth)

First of all, check out YouTube - Make Music with Guitar Hero Controller

I'm trying to figure out this program, but I only have a minor knowledge of java (I can build basic algorithm programs and such). This guy did it in C#, which I am currently attempting, but I cannot even make a hello world. Does anyone have an alternative to coding my own program, or would like to work on this with me?

C# syntax is nearly the same as Java. However, the code to accomplish what is shown in the video seems relatively simple, so you may be able to use J#, which is essentially Java for .NET.

Although I'm in very basic levels of learning Java, I know nothing on interactions of keys and sounds. I only know inputs and variables and that kind of thing (I'm learning from an old guy in my high school -.-'). How would I have certain keypresses play and loop certain sounds?

I was actually thinking of doing this in Flash. Do you think this is feasible?

Capture the keyboard input to determine which key(s) was pressed. Based on the key, play a sound.

If you want to use the method from the video (Microsoft's DirectSound) then you'll have to determine if flash can use that technology.
