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. -- Michael McIntyre ---- Silvan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Linux fanatic, and certified Geek; registered Linux user #243621 http://www.geocities.com/Paris/Rue/5407/ http://rosegarden.sourceforge.net/tutorial/ ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: YOU BE THE JUDGE.
