Greetings, list. So far while playing with Hydrogen
I've found out that:
1) I can set JACK transport off and program Hydrogen from a sequencer (trigger
drum hits in the piano roll), but it's unclear to me if Hydrogen is then
performing in realtime mode (from JACK's point of view) or not. Is it?
This feature is nice, but I like Hydrogen's pattern editor much more than any
sequencer's piano/drum roll.
all JACK clients run in realtime mode if JACK is using realtime mode.
JACK transport has absolutely zero to do with this.
2) I can leave JACK transport on, in which case
Hydrogen will play its song
score completely synced with the sequencer score. (If I start the sequencer
from 1:01, Hydrogen will start from 1:01, and so on.)
This is cool, but I don't want to compose two different scores to create one
song.
welcome to the primary reason why win/mac folks love big monolithic apps
with powerful if flawed plugin APIs.
My question is: Can I simply create patterns in
Hydrogen and map those to keys,
so that I could trigger patterns in the sequencer's piano roll? I'd love the
ability to start and stop any pattern at any point just by pressing and
releasing a key, and having it all in perfect JACK sync of course.
JACK sync means two different things. i suspect you mean transport sync,
and in truth that you mean more than this - tempo sync. JACK does not
currently provide any way for its clients to share a tempo (bar/beat or
meter/tempo) map.
