“Linux is a superior audio production platform, and one of its
shining stars is the Hydrogen Drum Machine. Hydrogen is an advanced
software drum synthesizer that is easy to learn, and yet packed
full of great features.For instant gratification, go to Project -> Open Demo and
pick a demo to play. This will tell you right away if Hydrogen is
finding the correct audio drivers, and if your sound system is
working. The playback controls are near the top left, in the row
under the menu bar. I’m running version 9.5 on Debian Testing,
which is a development version, and not all the demos work. So try
several if you don’t hear anything.
