- Being able to control several instances of Hydrogen patterns is the ultimate goal. Ideally it wouldn't require a completely new version of the running app because that is going to confuse AL users. Perhaps it will be possible for two different modes. In sampler mode the Sampler creates the instances and the gui reacts accordingly and in standard mode it functions as currently designed. - This is definitely a major issue in terms of gaining AL like flexibility for playback. The main point is that the sampler needs to be able to have multiple samples/patterns playing at the same time. As there is already functionality for playing multiple patterns via the main window it would not be much to allow the sampler buttons to trigger the playback for each pattern. That is a significant different from playing back complete songs individually but it would allow for a faster implementation of the sampler interface. Cheers.
