if you make this video i'll add it to the hydrogen tutorial videos page

right away

as you probably know, Wolke (one of the H2 devs) has already created a

number of kits using

synthcloneso maybe he

has some input ?

You're not the only person to bring up this problem. =A0There is =

very

little documentation on how to use synthclone, and synthclone could

benefit from input from user-experience experts to make the software

more intuitive. =A0Unfortunately, synthclone has been a one-person

operation up until now, and I'm not a user experience expert or

particularly good at writing documentation.
I would like to take some steps to rectify this problem. =A0Here are

some ideas I have:
1.) Make a video tutorial on how to use synthclone.
I'm considering submitting a drum kit to the Hydrogen Spring Drum Kit

Contest by sampling kits I've made on my external drum synth using

synthclone. Yes good idea =A0:-) =A0 dont =

hesitate !=A0=A0If and when=

 I do, I'll create a video tutorial on how I
use synthclone to create the Hydrogen drum kit.if you make this video i'll add it to the hydrogen tutorial vi=

deos page right awayas you probably know, Wolke (one of the H2 d=

evs) has already c=

reated a number of kits using synthclone so maybe he has some input ?
=A0
2.) Find some time to write documentation.
It might not be the greatest documentation ever, but it would be

something. =A0The problem is that I wrote the software, and probably

make some bad assumptions about what the user does and doesn't know

that someone with a fresh perspective might not make.
3.) Get other people involved.
I would love to have other people join me in helping to make

synthclone better for everyone! =A0So, if you are (or anyone out there

is) interested in contributing to synthclone, please let me know!
What do you think about these ideas? =A0Do you have additional ideas

that might help?
I'll be at the Linux Audio Conference this week, so if you're going=

 to

be at LAC and have some ideas you'd like to discuss, please let me

know.
