What is an H2SONG file?

An H2SONG file is a song created by Hydrogen, a music synthesizer. It contains information about a song in the XML standard, including the pattern, notes, and drum sound data the program plays according to the notes in the pattern. Hydrogen users save their compositions as H2SONG files to preserve their progress and can later export the songs to more widely supported formats, such as .WAV or .AIFF, for sharing purposes.

Hydrogen is a multiplatform program that emulates a drum machine based on patterns. You can create a pattern by adding various drum sounds, such as kicks, snare rimshots, and hat pedals, at various times in the pattern.

When you save a song by selecting Project → Save As..., Hydrogen creates an H2SONG file to store the song information. After saving the file, you can close and re-open the song for further editing.

How to open an H2SONG file

You can open an H2SONG file with Hydrogen (multiplatform). To open an H2SONG file with Hydrogen, select Project → Open. You can also open H2SONG files with LMMS (multiplatform).

Since H2SONG files store information in the XML standard, you can open them with an XML or plain text editor. However, opening an H2SONG file in this manner will not appear the same as opening it with Hydrogen.

How to convert an H2SONG file

Hydrogen can convert H2SONG files to various file types, including the following formats:

  • .AIFF - Audio Interchange File Format
  • .WAV - WAVE Audio
  • .OGG - Ogg Vorbis Audio
  • .FLAC - Free Lossless Audio Codec
