Hydrogen is now able to support midi hihat pedals which are using cc midi commands to communicate velocity information (pressure control). In addition, it interprets aftertouch messages to emulate the choking of cymbals.
It is now possible to specify a custom coloring for the "squares" of the song editor. You can choose between different coloring methods in the Preferences dialog ("Coloring method for Song editor elements" on the last tab).
Hydrogen supports the basic functions of the non session manager. See: https://github.com/hydrogen-music/hydrogen/issues/32
Hydrogen now supports instruments which have multiple components. Components represent containers for layers and can be used to model several aspects of one instrument, for example different microphone positions of a drum. Different components of an instrument can be mixed while playing simultaneously.
Initial support for Lilypond export given there is no triplet and the song is made of GM Kit. Tempo change is not supported yet. See: https://github.com/hydrogen-music/hydrogen/pull/343 .
A new MIDI action is now here: SELECT_PREV_PATTERN_RELATIVE
New windows cross compilation script
Hydrogen now supports the use of images in sound libraries.
Users can now choose between different sample selection algorithms. The current algorithms describe how Hydrogen selects between samples that are defined for the same velocity. On an user perspective, this feature helps a huge lot in providing a more natural (read: human-made) sounds with a drumkit. See: https://github.com/hydrogen-music/hydrogen/issues/247 .
See: https://github.com/hydrogen-music/hydrogen/pull/294 , https://github.com/hydrogen-music/hydrogen/issues/295 and https://github.com/hydrogen-music/hydrogen/issues/246.
Apply velocity check-box which can disable the relationship between the velocity of a note and the volume of the corresponding sample. See: https://github.com/hydrogen-music/hydrogen/pull/359 .
