I'm just vaguely thinking about drum pattern editors, having been messing about with Hydrogen a little bit. We don't have a drum editor in Rosegarden and I haven't generally used drum sequencers very much, so what I'm wondering is: what differences do people expect to find between a drum pattern editor and something like our matrix editor? To my eye, the most obvious differences are (1) the drum editor has one horizontal line per drum sound and they're labelled rather than aligned with piano keys, and (2) notes have no particular duration: they're represented as points visually and each one just sounds until the next one starts. What else? I should add that I'm not offering to code a drum editor -- point (1) above is already much harder than it sounds, because you have to get the drum names from somewhere. I'm just interested. Chris |
