That's an interesting idea.  The DSSI drum machine I mean.

Anyway, for my part, the procedure I outlined in my tutorial really isn't all 
that terrible to do, really.  I never actually use Hydrogen for anything 
anyway.  It could be easier having some kind of ABBA pattern tracker flummy 
built in, but we don't really need it.  Just make the A and B bits segments 
and copy/repeat them around as necessary.  Not quite as elegant as Hydrogen, 
but a lot easier than this used to be with my ancient Cakewalk, which was 
good enough for me for 10 years.  Then again, I suck at sequencing drums 
anyway.

About all I'd halfway like to see is some kind of thing to label what drums 
the keys on the keyboard are supposed to be.  Some new kind of special 
program bank that could map onto the matrix view under whatever useful 
circumstances.  (Track routed to drum instrument, some manual checkbox 
toggled, whatever.)

> Yes, i did use JACK Transport -- it's rather a workaround in this case.

I've tried doing that, and I'd rather import the patterns.  I found life was 
pretty screwy with the JACK transport enabled, and I haven't repeated that 
particular experiment lately.
