[Ardour-Users] Ardour/Hydrogen Sync issue

[Mark Greenwood]

I have a strange thing going on with Ardour and Hydrogen.

I have both set to sync to Jack, with Ardour as the time master. 
Ardour's time signature is set to 4/4. I've set Hydrogen's pattern 
length to be '16', but I'm not sure if that's 16 beats as it only gives 
me 8 beats to edit in a pattern. When I press Play in Ardour with the 
playhead set to the start of the song (Bar 1), Hydrogen starts from Bar 
2. If I start playback in Ardour from any other bar, Hydrogen starts 
from a place much further ahead.

I kind of assume I've got a mixup between Ardour's understanding of a 
bar and hydrogen's understanding of a bar. I've tried adjusting the time 
signature in Ardour, and this changes the relationship between where 
Ardour starts and where Hydrogen starts, but I can never get them to 
start at the same point.

What am I doing wrong?

Mark.
