You can create new patterns in the Pattern Editor; either altering existing patterns or modifying generated ones. The Pattern Editor can be viewed through either a Drum view or a Piano view. From the Drum view, Hydrogen for Mac is basically used as a drum machine, whilst in Piano view it is used as a general synthesizer. Hydrogen for Mac’s sound editing interface lets you hack up and play around with various samples. It has three sections that consist of a sample visualization, a time modification area, without altering the frequency, and a third area for previewing your final work.
