hydrogen accepting a cc or pc, along with tempo sync would actually be the
perfect solution

Here is the setup i'm looking to do:
midi master -> special program
ddr pad -> special program
special program -> hydrogen
I've got a hardware midi device controlling the master tempo. aseqdump
shows the tempo messages x times a second.
I want to either find or make a program so I can use a ddr pad (usb
gamepad) and assign different timed midi patterns to the buttons, so
for example:
if the program is configured for 4/4 time, when I hold down or toggle
a button
if note 36 is a bass drum and 41 is a snare then you'd have a basic
drum and snare beat when both buttons are held down or toggled, of
course i'd like to be able to have multiple patterns bound per button
as well
button one is set to play a quarter note midi note 36, then rest for
the remaining 3 beats
1 - 36,quarter|rest,quarter|36,quarter|rest,quarter
2 - 41,eighth|rest,eighth|41,eighth|rest,eighth|41,eighth|rest,eighth|
41,eighth|rest,eighth
Each pattern would describe one measure, and the flow of a live solo
performance could easily be changed on the fly, leaving hands free to
play guitar.
Anything out there like this, and I just don't know about it?
Perhaps a MIDI control change command could switch between different
drum patterns for a soft drum module like Hydrogen?
IIUC you aren't searching for something like JACK transport, you just
wish to switch between drum patterns.
