New features in Hydrogen 1.0

The development of Hydrogen 1.0 has started the 6th of November 2016.

NEW FEATURES

Hydrogen uses now QT5 by default.

Probability note property

Each note has now a probability property (in addition to velocity, lead/lag etc.) which can be manipulated via the note properties editor. The property offers way to define that a note is not played always, but with a certain probability.
