Greetings, list. So far while playing with Hydrogen I've found out that: 1) I can set JACK transport off and program Hydrogen from a sequencer (trigger drum hits in the piano roll), but it's unclear to me if Hydrogen is then performing in realtime mode (from JACK's point of view) or not. Is it? This feature is nice, but I like Hydrogen's pattern editor much more than any sequencer's piano/drum roll. 2) I can leave JACK transport on, in which case Hydrogen will play its song score completely synced with the sequencer score. (If I start the sequencer from 1:01, Hydrogen will start from 1:01, and so on.) This is cool, but I don't want to compose two different scores to create one song. My question is: Can I simply create patterns in Hydrogen and map those to keys, so that I could trigger patterns in the sequencer's piano roll? I'd love the ability to start and stop any pattern at any point just by pressing and releasing a key, and having it all in perfect JACK sync of course. Please tell me this is possible! And if it's not, well, I guess the developers can take this as a hint... :) Best wishes, Juuso Alasuutari ---------------------------------------------------------------- This mail sent through L-secure: http://www.l-secure.net/
Have you tried seq24? It's a sequencer that is very very nice for pattern based stuff. Though if you prefer the in built hydrogen pattern editor it doesn't help. Seq24 is very nice for this kind of stuff though. http://www.filter24.org/seq24/index.html new versions seem to be coming out at a rapid pace recently, big cheers to rob buse! Loki
