Hydrogen works real well as a MIDI synth to be played by RoseGarden, at
least when using Jack/NetJack.  I do this all the time.  For larger
percussion sections I find it easier to use RoseGarden for the sequencing
than Hydrogen's native interface.

I kind of figured that the discrepancy in mine probably *should* be
something like one doubled on the other (due to just how I was using
the pattern editor, if I'm correct), like the one being 120 and the
other being 240, but that I'm a little off somehow. I think that
explains how big the discrepancy looks.

I've thought of a way to deal with it once I'm ready to record (or
perform, in a pinch), though. I'll let Rosegarden record its track(s)
in Ardour, then begin every other track (including Hydrogen)
separately after that.

Yes, but it's impressively evil.  Select a note and Alt+J L V [tab] 
[type new velocity] [enter].  It works, but I wouldn't want to do that 
all day.

If you draw up a feature request for a better way to do this, I'll get 
to it relatively soon.

I hadn't experimented with any of that in years, and I just took a crash 
refresher course.

The best I can do is check [x] Use JACK Transport on the general options 
configuration page.  That gets Rosegarden and Hydrogen stopping and 
starting in sync, but from there it's up to their respective clocks, and 
the clocks drift.

I couldn't repeat your gross timing discrepancy between the 
applications, but I couldn't really work out an effective way to use 
both of these sequencers at the same time either.

This is why I used to do the sequencing in Rosegarden, and play Hydrogen 
like any other soft synth.  Looking at it with fresh eyes, it still 
seems to be the best I can do.

It used to be possible to import Hydrogen song files directly into 
Rosegarden for this purpose.  It never quite worked reliably, and 
eventually it outright broke.  The code got orphaned years ago.  If 
somebody took a notion, they could probably update it to the latest 
Hydrogen file format and resurrect that bit of functionality.

I just looked up time signatures in Hydrogen and I'm going to have to
look at it for a while to understand it, I think. Thanks for the tip.

[Rosegarden-user] Keyboard command for increasing velocity just a little

2016-04-18 Thread mskala
Is there any easy way to change the velocity of notes in small, consistent
steps (preferably, one unit at a time) from the keyboard?

Shift-Up/Shift-Down seem to do some kind of rounding, maybe to the
nearest multiple of 5 or 10; I haven't been able to determine exactly how
they work, but the velocity seems to go up or down in a small amount on
the first press, more on subsequent presses, and in a way not reversible
by going back in the opposite direction.

At a guess, maybe they are using different timing sources.

   I'm not sure that synchronizing Hydrogen and Rosegarden is going to 
work very well.  It might be better to use Hydrogen as a MIDI synth and 
have Rosegarden do the sequencing.  Assuming this is possible.

   That's a ratio of 2/3.  Check the time signatures.  Are they the same?

[Rosegarden-user] BPM: Rosegarden vs. Hydrogen

2016-04-18 Thread Silas Mortimer
I have a song that begins with an intro that I wrote in Rosegarden,
then transitions to a guitar/bass/drum-based song. I'm making the drum
line in Hydrogen.

I've run into a little trouble in trying to match the rhythm of the
song to the one in the intro. What I've found: 180 BPM in Hydrogen is
*not* 180 BPM in Rosegarden. To get a more or less similar beat
setting, I have Rosegarden set up at 180 BPM, while Hydrogen is down
to 120 BPM. That is as close as I can come to getting them the same
speed.

This is particularly a problem in that I'd like to set them up to run
together (leaving blank patterns in Hydrogen while the part in
Rosegarden plays), but when I try to set Rosegarden's timing to
JACK-determined, it goes all wonky.

What's going on? Can I change this behavior? Am I doing it wrong? (I
suspect it's that last one.)

I will definitely have to try that! Man, there's so much stuff to learn, lol.

You can also select and jog all the notes in a segment without changing the
segment's overall position - very useful for latency correction.

Not sure if this has been mentioned / is relevant, but in both matrix 
and notation editors you can 'jog' (move in time) by 1/32 increments 
selected notes with ALT + Right / ALT+Left - For certain scenarios this 
(using the keyboard) could speed up adjusting note onsets e.g. creating
