____ 0.9.4 Changes____
After more than 3 years we're happy to announce the release of a new stable version of hydrogen. You can download the sourcecode of hydrogen 0.9.4 now from the sourceforge servers[1].
The new version makes use of QT4 and includes several new features and components. Here's a small list of the biggest changes:
* a new soundlibrary manager * mute groups * improved midi support ( now configurable ) * several new translations * playlists * a new audiofile browser with integrated preview * new manual * official support for OSX * save/load/import/export patterns * download drumkits/songs/patterns from external servers * and many more..
I would like to thank everyone who was involved in the development! Two years ago it looked like the project is dead, but with the help of a fantastic community it was possible to keep up Alessandro's good work and improve it. Thank you and enjoy the new version!!!!
____ 0.9.3 Changes____ * Integrated WASP plugins by Artemiy Pavlov, including innovative Booster, Noisifier and X-Shaper * New, much improved color scheme; Fixed various bugs related to Jack audio driver * Fixed 100% CPU usage bug.
____ 0.9.2 Changes____ * New graphics * Bug fix in export song (using JACK driver) * Bug fix in export song (wrong samplerate) * Follow playhead in song editor * Automatic audio driver selection * New PortAudio and PortMidi drivers * Mac Os X port * Pattern size increased: up to 4 bars * Random pitch variations * New instrument editor * ADSR for instruments * Low pass filter * Insert/delete a range of patterns in song editor * ...and much more
Hi all ..
I have a problem with installation of Hydrogen get the following problem ... Think it is a problem with alsa drivers ... can some one help me with this ...

It sounds like you don't have any alsa headers installed. Make sure you install them.
The package should be named something like libasound2-dev, but it may change from distro to distro.
Thanks to comix, I had got a hold of the cvs before he posted it. And with his help got it running on my systems. 0.9.2's new UI is great. Much clearer, faster. Using Hydrogen to create fill in drum tracks for DJ friends has never been easier. I Use ReZound (It's not a KDE but wow, it's a good Audio Editor http://rezound.sourceforge.net/) to add the drum tracks into the dumb blank spots some artist add to their dance music.
Comix, home run my little drone! Hydrogen is a must if you work with music, especially if you're a DJ (a dying art).
Now if only I can convice Markey to build a DJ version of amaroK!
Thanks,
The Borg Queen
Hi,
This might be a silly question,but how do
you make your own drumkits? Ive looked through the docs and info at the Sourceforge site,but cant see any reference to it. Or am I going blind?!!
Any help would be great. Many thanks for
the great drum-machine,and keep up the
the good work.
Cheers

i just write this so google will pick it up one day... again: "w00t, this apps this fruityloops for linux!" this app rocks! g'luck. cies breijs
If I set the baghira theme, Hydrogen will show the control uncorrect.
Thanks for the report, the bug is related to the incomplete QT theme. The Baghira team should be already informed about that.
no, i'm not... ;) what exactly is the problem (widget, style primitive or just show up a screenshot - http://baghira.sourceforge.net/bugs.shtml)
I got a message that it couldn't find all my X includes... anyone know what includes i need and/or where to find them using aptitude?
did you install all the development X-packages? they have usually a "dev" in their name.

Am i correct when judging from the screenshots that Hydrogen is a bit like FruityLoops? http://www.fruityloops.com
