I've been using Hydrogen (via EasyDebian) to create beats for about a year now on my N800. It is extremely powerful, runs smoothly, and I can load it without actually going into the EasyDeb environment. Would it be better to create something from scratch or to see if this could be easily packaged without EasyDebian? Hydrogen has a superb GUI, and can hold its own against any other Drum Machine. I have created melodies, chords, and bass lines with it too. dcarter
