hi world,
I'm now implementing project which's mono- + poly- phonic sound synth. I have 12bit spi DAC chip (MCP4921). I want to connect it, and I want send data to it. I dont know how to contruct the code.

1. how can I store data, such as tones/durations, switch states?
2. how can I send the above to DAC chip?
3. I read many tutorials, now I have this code.

Code:

// DAC Data Transfer
#define SLAVESELECT 10 // CS
#define DATAOUT 11 // DIN
#define SPICLOCK 13 // SCLK

void setup(){
// Setup SPI Interface code BEGIN ///////////////////////////////////////////
byte clr;
pinMode(DATAOUT, OUTPUT);
pinMode(SPICLOCK,OUTPUT);
pinMode(SLAVESELECT,OUTPUT);

digitalWrite(SLAVESELECT,HIGH); //disable device

//The SPI control register (SPCR) has 8 bits, each of which control a particular SPI setting.

// SPCR
// | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 0 |0000000000000000000
// | SPIE | SPE | DORD | MSTR | CPOL | CPHA | SPR1 | SPR0 |

// SPIE - Enables the SPI interrupt when 1
// SPE - Enables the SPI when 1
// DORD - Sends data least Significant Bit First when 1, most Significant Bit first when 0
// MSTR - Sets the Arduino in master mode when 1, slave mode when 0
// CPOL - Sets the data clock to be idle when high if set to 1, idle when low if set to 0
// CPHA - Samples data on the falling edge of the data clock when 1, rising edge when 0'
// SPR1 and SPR0 - Sets the SPI speed, 00 is fastest (4MHz) 11 is slowest (250KHz)

SPCR = (1<<SPE)|(1<<MSTR)|(1<<CPHA);
clr=SPSR;
clr=SPDR;
delay(10);

//So now we can write a function SetVoltage(int) that will change the DAC output.

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// DAC SPI Interface
char spi_transfer(volatile char data)
{
SPDR = data; // Start the transmission
while (!(SPSR & (1<<SPIF))) // Wait the end of the transmission
{
};
return SPDR; // return the received byte
}

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Set the voltage on the 12bit DAC
byte SetVoltage(short Voltage)
{
Voltage = Voltage | 32768; // Use DAC A

digitalWrite(SLAVESELECT,LOW);

//2 byte opcode -- for some reason we have to do this twice to make it stick with the TLV5618
spi_transfer(Voltage>>8);
spi_transfer(Voltage);

spi_transfer(Voltage>>8);
spi_transfer(Voltage);

digitalWrite(SLAVESELECT,HIGH); //release chip, signal end transfer
}}

void loop()
{
  eeprom_output_data = read_eeprom(address);
  Serial.print(eeprom_output_data,DEC);
  Serial.print('\n',BYTE);
  address++;
  if (address == 128)
    address = 0;
  delay(500); //pause for readability
}

a similar project to me.
