Install hydrogen dev version and terminatorx. Compare them to AL and 
make a list of the features that are missing. Ask nicely for developers 
to implement the features or offer a bounty.

I once looked at what would need to be done to tX to get it to perform 
like AL and the only thing missing in terms of interface was a sample 
grid the could be used to trigger the samples. Most of the 
infrastructure is in place already.
