Well, again. This is where the straightforward thing comes :) If you want to do your arrangement with drums/percussion fast, you need a native drum editor plus a DSSI drum machine. Export (from Hydrogen) and Import (to Hydrogen) add more steps, which a usual musician, who uses drums, would like to avoid. Yes, i did use JACK Transport -- it's rather a workaround in this case. > There was talk of a special drum clef, and of doing drum maps to map out keys > to particular drums.

I remember someone here trying to put his hands on audio stuff -- like a simple wav editor etc. Errm, hello? :) Alexandre ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: YOU BE THE JUDGE.
