Mx41 have supported alsa and jack since the renaming from Mx4 to mx41. A
limited version have been in circulation in beta since late autumn/early
winter with a warning that specs might change.
Just me that don't pay attention then :)

Correct. Mx41 will assume you'd like to play right away and grab midi-in
if possible. But if you start, say Rosegarden first, it will be happy to
supply just an Alsa interface. And yes, you can have one application
using the Alsa interface and still play along with it using OSS.
I want to use it through MusE, same use case I guess.
It seems to me it always supplies the OSS connection regardless if there is
anything connected over alsa.
I've connected the synth to MusE and regardless if I enable midi on the
selected track the synth happily plays along with what I do on the keyboard,
I also cannot find any connections through alsa so I assume it's the OSS
connection.

This is strange and definately not intended? Can yo elaborate?
Ah. I got it working, the synth was sending out midi on channel four or some
such, so all changes I made to the instance on ch 1 had no effect what so
ever. ;-) beginners error.
Ofcourse the editing started to work also. I was going to complain that it was
hard to edit the settings for just one oscillator when it occured to me that
there was a volume for each of them. Turning it down made it work out just
fine.
Not that the sound I got out of it really sounded like anything ;) I'm quite
inexperienced with editing synths.
<....>
Lastly,
updating it to a DSSI would be a great feat for the integration
possibilities.
Use the source! Patches are welcome ...
Hehe, we'll see ;-)
Regards,
Robert
