Hi all, I have been using Hydrogen for a few years now, both by programming drum patterns or playing live with an e-drums and there are few things I'm missing... I wouldn't mind having a look into coding them, but I'd like to get the feedback/comments/opinions/screams of despair from the community. HiHat & EDrums Hydrogen only deals with close/open for the hihat control. It should be easy enough to mark the instruments as being part of a hihat and provide for each hihat instruments a range to define which one is triggered. For example close from 0 to 10, half-open from 11 to 40, open from 41 to 127. EDrum sends a cc message for how close the hihat is closed. There is already a script to do something very similar (http://www.hydrogen-music.org/hcms/node/2807) using mididings, but having it in Hydrogen would be more user friendly I guess? EDrums & Cymbal choke I believe edrums are using aftertouch for that (to confirm) - sample could simply be muted? Multi-mics drum samples Drums recording often uses several mic placements and depending how they are mixed it changes the mood of the drums. For example mixing using overhead and direct samples. I have drum samples where: - the snare is composed of under, above and overhead takes - cymbals are direct and overhead takes - kick is front, back, inside - etc... Per instrument, we could have groups of samples: - Instrument would have one fader per group and one fader for the whole instrument - Each instrument group would have its own output - Each group would have its fader - if we have multiple instruments with the group "overhead", this fader can control the gain for the overall overhead - I don't know what to do with panner - would anybody have an opinion on that? - Trigger/velocity (programmed or played live) would trigger would trigger all necessary samples What do you guys think of these proposals?
