Hi Jakob,

thanks for your great contributions!

I've applied your second patch, but i have to say i that i want to delay 
your first patch.

In my opinion a third mode, "live mode" (accessible through the key "L", 
is not the optimal solution. It is not very userfriendly to use more 
shortcuts for such an important function.

At the moment i think that playing the selected pattern should be the 
default, because this is what new users expect when they use hydrogen 
the first time.  The big question is: How to change this behaviour ?

1. keyboard shortcut ( your patch )
2. new button ( maybe above the patternlist? )
3. new mode-button (additional to pattern/song-mode)
4. preferences-option (too unintuitive)


The button above the pattern-list (where the other pattern options are) 
is my favourite solution at the moment, may i can make a mockup the next 
days to present it here.. This won't introduce a full new mode ( i think 
it is too much overhead to create a new mode for just one feature) but 
introduce a new option to the pattern mode.  It would be nice to hear 
what people think about that..

Thanks,
Sebastian
