Hello everyone

I have made a list of some of my dream features.. I'm excited for the
possibilities that hydrogen's future holds!

- OSC (opensoundcontrol.org) support, this would open up many doors.
client/server, network capable, specialized hardware interoperability,
etc.

- With OSC implemented, it would be possible to support monome.org.
Hydrogen's grid pattern editor is a perfect fit for monome boards!!
The possibilities are huge! Also, it would generate a big buzz in the
free hardware/software communities.

- filesystem location of loaded samples under the "layers" tab. Only
the name is displayed, often cutoff. makes it impossible to find where
samples are on the filesystem. Something like, right click on sample
-> open file location.

- marker points on the song editor to mark points of interest in the
song (ardour has this feature)

- cue points (marker) that can be triggered with external hardware
(monome, keyboard, etc). Allow playback from particular place within a
song. Hooked into the "marker points".

- trigger playback of patterns, not just samples, through osc and midi.

- simple sample editing. For example, trim points for each sample so
you can trim a sample in hydrogen without making a new sample file. It
would be great if it used points and lines so you could edit any
portion of the sample. not just the front and back. This could also be
implemented as "automation", as ardour does it.

- no more 32 channel limitation, it should be hardware limit and not a
code limit.

- pitch shifter and time stretcher capable of fine tuning to 100th steps.

- copy and paste for song and pattern editor

- restore from crash feature

- undo/redo (I can't count the times I've lost work :-(

- automation (ardour style) on individual squares (bars) in the song
editor. This would allow pans, fades, effect, etc to be dynamically
assigned to the song.

- color shading of the grid in song editor (rainbow by default with
the option to assign custom colors to a row). On large compositions,
its hard to know which pattern your adding/subtracting.
