so after i tried contacting artemiy pavlov (the first address already bounced; the 2nd has now bounced as well but at least with a hint where to contact him), i re-read the hydrogen homeage, where it say: > These libraries can also be downloaded and installed from within > Hydrogen. Goto Instruments -> Import Library.
