Hallo,

I started using Hydrogen 0.9.6 and it's my first contact with it. First of all: congratulations. It has a clear user interface and in conjunction with the manual many questions are answered until now.

But there is one thing that is not clear in the user interface and concept.

Normally I would think that a drummer does not change his drum setup within a song, so he would not change the drumset from general midi to Kawai XD-5 kit. Am I right.

If it's so, it is clear, that all the patterns within that song are patterns that use this sound library. But here the UI and maybe concept is not clear. I could load patterns from different sound libs within the same song.

On the other hand, when I load another sound lib the sounds in the just editing pattern are not cleared before. There are no checks. Loading a sound lib should be decision at the beginning.
So i.e. I loaded the very long classic lib with 29 instruments and after that, I loaded a shorter kit with just 10 instruments. The instruments of the classic lib from position 11 to 29 where still there and where playing a sound. That is not good.

So here you have to clarify your concept, I thing.
