A quick question. Is Hydrogen now a jackmidi app? I've been searching
the interlink, and did see some discussion about it, and i wondered if
this was an impending reality, or a false dawn. I've downloaded the
latest stable but no jackmidi present as yet.

It doesn't seem to support jack midi. I just compiled latest svn.
It shows no jack midi ports and doesn't contain jack midi under midi
system or however the preference tab is called.
Only thing I didn't check is a new compiletime option that needs to be
enabled, but I deem that rather unlikely.

Aah ok, thanks for the heads up.
Someone just told me there's an experimental jackmidi version in
hydrogen branches, so i'm off to check it out.

The JACK MIDI code was contribued (by me) while H2 was on a
feature freeze before 0.9.4. It was placed on the
"jackMidi" branch. After being unfrozen, it wasn't
considered a priority branch.
The branch has been lightly tested, and had regular merges
with trunk (leading up to the 0.9.4 release). There are two
known issues:
1. MIDI record is totally broken.
2. IIRC, the notes are scheduled for frame 0 of
the current process cycle... basically ignoring
the frame number. Long story why. Also,
I seem to recall doing something to fix that...
but I'm not sure.

Gabriel, thanks for the heads up. So far, in testing, it works, and
does what i want it to do. And for the first time since i started
using Hydrogen, it's pretty stable, and doesn't fall over at the first
sign of a challenge.
So far, so good.
Alex.

Adrian, no offence intended, it's been my user experience that
anything that has portaudio or portmidi involved, is prone to
challenges. I'm thinking a "pure' jack build here.
I'm not sure about hydrogen as an lv2 plugin either. I can't see where
this would be useful, although others might disagree, showing valid
use cases.

Just a question to get my understanding right: the sequencer is this

To me, the idea is to open a project in ardour and have the H2 drums

the sequencer is everything which allows you to play note
arrangements (patterns) directly in hydrogen.
it includs the pattern editor and the song editor to create the arrangements. and its

hydrogen without the sequenzer is only a instrument container and the needed sampler to
play the sample based instrument sample-sets (multilayer).

Wolke,
As this thread indicates, just posting an interest in seeing jackmidi
included has brought more than one response. As Gabriel seems to have
done a fair chunk of the coding already, and he's already indicated
his work seemed to be ignored for lack of interest from you chaps,
until this thread appeared anyway, it would seem to make sense to
include his code in the mainstream release as a matter of priority.
As more and more apps are built and upgraded with jackmidi, the one's
that don't will get left behind, and personally i'd hate to see
hydrogen become "old" for the lack of a professional component.
I'm aware of the virtues of Hydrogen, and it's one of the reasons i
use it, although your post seems to wander from the intent of this
thread, and that is the inclusion of jackmidi. The sequencer is a good
idea, and it would seem a worthy addition for multiple use cases.
Jackmidi has the same importance for our use cases, and Hydrogen,
imho, will benefit from having, for the first time, sample accurate
midi.
Alex.
Gabriel, if you wish to refine the jackmidi branch further, i'm
available for testing. Jackmidi is more important for me than anything
else at the moment, so i have a vested interest in co-operating with
you to see this particular component polished to stable maturity.
None of us are getting any younger. :)

Are you saying you are not interested in seeing jack-midi make it into
hydrogen with your help?
Is it only developers that get a say by coding something?
I code for open source and for a living, I see great value in the needs
of the users. It is the only thing that allows an application to grow to
a professional level.
