Sure, but you'd usually pick musicians based on some common style.

I like its the random-velocity and "humanize" tempo features. Though I've played a bit with tapeutape and seq24 and/or rosegarden too. There are some PD patches that do interesting drum things as well. The live drummer I've been playing with lately ( http://www.restivo.org/blog/podpress_trac/web/169/0/morning-bell-jam-2007-07-08.ogg ), is such a monster, that nowadays no drum machine or sequencer sounds very good to me anymore. Last night, he was playing a pattern of triplet, triplet, 4 straight 16ths, then a sextuplet in the space of 5 16ths. I'm sure there's a way to get Hydrogen to do that, but no sequencer I know of is going to *think up* stuff like that, on the fly, in the middle of a rehearsal. - -ken -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFHOymYe8HF+6xeOIcRAklnAKDTDd4l0pb8VaqiBIabMGMBW0HgaACgnmuE 6+ftRi/Eh+bGyIEKV8uoOIk= =15ZW -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
