Hey, where do you play ? Do you mix records as well ?

Looks interesting. So, of course, the little MIDI drum/percussion
loops are just the equivalent of mixing "DJ tools" records that have
locked grooves on them. I've even done it by blocking the tone arm
with something so it skips back into the groove. Instant drum loop!

I originally found - "How to create drum sounds in ZynAddSubFX or
Yoshimi, Part 1" -
http://shrp.me/docs/zynaddsubfx_yoshimi_drum_tutorial.php
At the moment I am redirecting Hydrogen MIDI events out via MIDI to
Yoshimi to trigger the drum sound. The thing with Yoshimi is that you
can route multiple drum/percussion sounds from the same running
instance of Yoshimi into Jack/Ardour and record/tweak individually.
I'll put together a blog post/tutorial about this.

Interesting. Is Lupp open source ? Even if it does crash it might be
wise to release anyway so you get testers/bug reporters. As long as
its clearly labelled alpha/beta with a disclaimer then you can't be
blamed for performance glitches. But of course depends on your own
personal development style.
