Hydrogen Spring Drum Kit Contest launches today !

Mon, 03/19/2012 - 13:28 — thijs

 

Some time ago there was a small poll on the Hydrogen site asking the Hydrogen users (aka 'you' ;-) what feature you wanted more than anything else.

Your answer was clear : "more and better drum kits".

We promised to do something about this, and here it is : the 'Hydrogen Spring Drum Kit Contest'

The goal of this fun contest is simple: with your help we hope to expand Hydrogen's sound library with some great new drum kits.

And since this is a contest there are some really neat prizes to win!

We're happy to announce the release of Hydrogen 0.9.6-beta1, the first
development release of hydrogen 0.9.6. The new version includes some
major improvements:

- Jack midi support

Apart from these features, we're using now CMake for our build process.
You can start the build process by running "./build.sh m" from your

as usual, we expect that the new version will hit the KXStudio
repository in the next days.
