Hi folks, does any one know if the hydrogen drum machine is accessible
for blind users?
I know it has a gui, but I don't know what it's written in. And I
don't know if there are any alternatives for running it.
Thanks!

Hello Rusty!
Hydrogen has a QT GUI. So if you can compile it with QT4 or later, then it
might be accessible. You are running a relatively recent system, so Orca
should have support for the QT accessibility stuff.
But Hydrogen also has a commandline mode. Mind you in that mode it just
loads a prepared kit with or without a prepared song. I use that mode, since
I have a very nice kit and I play live. But if you really want to program your
own drumkit and rather use pattern based recording, you should give it a try.
Warm regards
Julien

I researched this a little and found
http://jpwhiting.blogspot.co.uk/2011/03/its-alive.html ...
Led me to http://gitorious.org/qt-at-spi/qt-at-spi ...
"Qt AT-SPI2 bridge
=================
This is a Qt plugin that bridges Qt's accessibility API to AT-SPI2.
With recent versions of AT-SPI2 this should make Qt applications accessible
with the help of tools such as Gnome's Orca screen-reader.
qt-at-spi moved, the Qt 4 version is at http://projects.kde.org/qtatspi
For Qt 5 it is part of Qt, see QtBase at http://qt-project.org"
http://gitorious.org/qt-at-spi/qt-at-spi/blobs/master/README
So this appears to be the QT development that would be needed to make
Hydrogen compatible with screen readers. If Hydrogen can't do this already
then you could suggest that the developers add this support.
