Hi.
I'm trying to import songs from hydrogen drum machine to lmms but can not make them play anything.
I have tried all the different formats available for export in hydrogen, even midi (and installed and specified a default sf2 file), and tried through the audiofileprocessor too, but nothing works. Some don't play at all, some crash my system, and, those that play, either in the song- or beat+bassline editor, won't produce any sound.
I have tried in linux mint 17.2 and ubuntu studio 14.04.3.
I have read what little I could find, to no avail.
If someone knows how this should be done, or how it could be achieved, i should appreciate the information.
(bear in mind that I am an old man an therefore no longer know anything)
Love,
jyrki

Hi
Welcome to the community!
There is this topic http://lmms.io/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=4542 also around H2 problems. ..dont know if that help, though.
I have not tried anything out of H2 in lmms, so im not really 'your man' -What i have done, is import all H2s sounds in lmms sample-library, and i simply use them as normal sound samples in lmms, but that is ofcause not a satisfactual 'solution' at all, in your project. Have you tried the exported midi-file in a midi-player, like Anvill-studio?

If it plays there, you could try to export it to midi0, and import that to you project.

Thank you for answering, musikbear.
Yes, I have read the post you linked to, and, to be honest, not quite understood it. I saw a mute tutorial in youtube which helped a little.
Importing in .flac format through the audiofile processor into the song editor, I managed to get a short stub visible in pianoroll, which played a short part of the song, and by stretching it out, and carefully arranging looping back to start, managed to make it playable.
This, however is not a satisfactory solution. In addition there may be problems with my particular hardware, since after a while it crashed my system. It may be overheating.
Your suggestion is good, I copied (as root) the samples from hydrogen to lmms's sample folder and went from there. Pity though, as I know hydrogen well, we are old friends. But I am learning how to use lmms, and we will no doubt become friends, too. One can not gain new skills without giving something away.
The midi way I could not make to work, there is something wrong with the soundfontfile I have installed, apparently.

Problem solved in an unforeseen way I guess.
