[linux-audio-user] FWD: Re: [linux-audio-dev] Please test my MidiSport firmware loader

[Patrick Shirkey]

This was just sent to LAD. I would test it but I don't have any midi 
instruments these days.

It installs very easily once you have the correct files.

Hi,

I've created a package which extracts the firmware for MidiSport devices
from the Windows driver files and installs the hotplug script to download
the firmware. You can get it at
<http://www.informatik.uni-halle.de/~ladischc/midisport_linux_firmware.html>.

There are some differences to Lars Doelle's GPL firmware:
- it supports MidiSport 4x4/8x8/Keystation/Oxygen
- no configuration file editing, just 'make install'
- it requires ALSA because the Midiman firmware doesn't conform to the USB
   MIDI specification

I don't have a MidiSport device, so this is completely untested.

Regards,
Clemens

Being on stage with the band in front of crowds shouting, "Get off! No! 
We want normal music!", I think that was more like acting than anything 
I've ever done.
