We had a discussion about the direction of hydrogen recently on our
mailing list and decided
that hydrogen should stay a something like a "drum machine" and is not
going to be a live composing app
( Gabriel's "composite" is going in that direction).
But beside that, often developers develop features which are useful for
them :)
You should also take into account that the piano roll editor is not
meant as a replacement for a full midi sequencer, it is more like a
extension to the existing sequencer.
> I played yesterday with non-sequencer and hydrogen. I really don't need
The one-task-one-tool principle was *never* really used by hydrogen, so
we can't stick with it :)
Hydrogen has always been a tool which included things like a sequencers
and combined them and was not only one thing.
A lot of people like it this way, not at least because on other
platforms ( hydrogen is used a lot on windows and osx ) people are not
used to the modular way linux offers.
But after all, we discuss a lot about which feature we really need and
what not, so every comment is really welcome!
Thanks,
