Hi I was fooling around with Hydrogen to control my Alesis SR18 drum machine just to find out that Hydrogen has no midi out :( Can anyone recommend a nice easy to use drum editor with midi out ? Best regards Sv-e

What exactly do you mean by midi out? Hydrogen has limited midi controller functionality but it should be able to send some events. Did you try connecting ports with qjackctl? h2 which is the development version of hydrogen has fairly advanced midi controller support which needs to be tested and punished at the moment.

I use an older version of Hydrogen which has no midi out, but midi in. As you can read in another answer I go for a newer version to solve my problem. Thanks anyway /Sv-e

Just out of interest what are you planning to use the midi out for with your hardware? Do you need to trigger button presses on the device or are you using hydrogen to play midi samples loaded onto the device? Cheers. Patrick Shirkey Boost Hardware Ltd

Hi Patrick I belive that it's a lot easier to make good drum patterns on my computer than on the Alesis SR18. It has great patterns build in, but often i need brakes and stuff not provided as standard patterns. After thinking a little about the subject I have decided to try playing the pattern in by hand from the Alesis into an application where it should be possible to quantise in a propper way to correct my lack of timing regarding drumming, and then let this application play the patterns as midi out to get the cool groovy drum sound of my Alesis into my recordings. Why keep it simple, when it can be complicated :) Best regards Sv-e

I know this doesn't fit exactly your original request, and I hope you can accomplish *exactly* what you are looking for, but I've done this for years and years and years now. For $50 buy a copy of Drumtrax, a MID library of 100's of drum patterms originally played on an electronic drum kit and captured via MIDI and then put what you're interested in into any good MIDI sequencer - when working in Linux I personally use Rosegarden - and then cut and paste the parts which fit your song. Granted, these don't really sound like sequencer patterns out of the box, but you can modify MIDI velocity, quantize to your heart's content. Best of all it's really easy. Just an idea and I'm not associated with the DrumTrax folks at all. Promise! Cheers, Mark http://www.vamtech-ent.com/index.aspx

To make that a little bit clearer: 0.9.4-rc1 or trunk does not have any midi output, it can just receive midi events. The version with midi-out is the fx_and_sample_fun branch by Michael Wolkstein ( can be found in our official svn).

Hi, if you're willing to experiment a little bit you could try a development branch of hydrogen which comes with midi-out: Find more informations here: http://www.hydrogen-music.org/forum/?action=show_thread&thread=378&… Hope that helps, Sebastian
