[LAU] HOWTO: Tempo changes in Hydrogen via Rosegarden

[Matthias Schönborn]

Hello everyone!

Just wanted to contribute a little trick I found out.

Today I played around with Hydrogen, a really amazing piece of software! But I 
couldn't find out how to change the tempo gradually. I surfed the web and 
found out that it just isn't supported yet. Somewhat dissappointed I searched 
for solutions, and found that one:

I started Rosegarden and edited a Midi track, and magically, a different 
sample was played in Hydrogen everytime I played a note in Rosegarden (don't 
ask me about settings, it just worked!). So the simple trick is to set 
Rosegarden as the Time Master, have your tempo track set there, click down 
your drumtrack, play it with every tempo change you like and record it in 
hydrogen with the record midi button there and there you are!

Now I haven't tried out too much with it, I was just so exited about it that I 
had to share it with you (though most of you will already use this trick, but 
I haven't found this on the web, so maybe this will help some people as they 
browse the archive). 

Greetings
Matthias
