AFAIK the Oxygen8 does not behave as a standard usb
midi device, it uses a
"Midiman protocol" instead, so the standard drivers don't know what to do
with it. If you connect it and do an lsusb -v you don't see much...
Ok if the Edirol keyboards support standard MIDI then there shouldn't be any
problems using them under Linux, but since USB has a much bigger bandwidth
than serial MIDI, I that the timing for notes that belong to large chords is
more precise. Can someone confirm this ?
BTW: the Midiman site lists Linux as an OS in their driver search page but
nothing comes up when searching for product drivers.
Is their stance very closed ? Do they not even release specs ?
cheers,
Benno
