If I set the baghira theme, Hydrogen will show the control uncorrect.

Thanks for the report, the bug is related to the incomplete QT theme. The Baghira team should be already informed about that.

It sounds like you don't have any alsa headers installed. Make sure you install them.

The package should be named something like libasound2-dev, but it may change from distro to distro.

Thanks to comix, I had got a hold of the cvs before he posted it. And with his help got it running on my systems. 0.9.2's new UI is great. Much clearer, faster. Using Hydrogen to create fill in drum tracks for DJ friends has never been easier. I Use ReZound (It's not a KDE but wow, it's a good Audio Editor http://rezound.sourceforge.net/) to add the drum tracks into the dumb blank spots some artist add to their dance music.

Comix, home run my little drone! Hydrogen is a must if you work with music, especially if you're a DJ (a dying art).

Now if only I can convice Markey to build a DJ version of amaroK!

Thanks,

The Borg Queen

Hi,
This might be a silly question,but how do
you make your own drumkits? Ive looked through the docs and info at the Sourceforge site,but cant see any reference to it. Or am I going blind?!!
Any help would be great. Many thanks for
the great drum-machine,and keep up the
the good work.
Cheers
