You can call the functions of this library like you would do with any
other library. A simple example is my fluid~ external, which #includes
fluidsynth.h and then just calles the functions defined there, like
the one which creates a fluid_synth instance. You will have to somehow
link the dll, but this is common C programming stuff. 

If it's USB, then maybe you could use some other object to talk to it.
I don't know any on Windows, but on Linux, the linuxevent objects work
just fine with USB-HID devices. 

ciao
