++ Lack of focus has killed several projects (including my own projects). It's hard enough to make a very good drum machine. The current sample playback engine might benefit from some extra work, sure. Adding some sample editing/processing functionality is a great idea, too. On the other hand, turning a drum machine into a generic sequencer or building in a fully-featured subtractive synthesizer is probably counterproductive. Especially when you can use Hydrogen together with other sequencers (say, qtractor) and instruments (zynaddsubfx, fluidsynth, LV2 synths like Rudolf 556). The "everything but the kitchen sink" approach usually fails. My 2 cents (from an author of 3 unfinished synth plugins) Krzysztof (sure, improving the old code is much more annoying than developing new things, but what makes software amazing is the attention to detail, not lots of unrelated or unfinished new features) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H _______________________________________________ Hydrogen-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/hydrogen-devel
