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.
GREAT!!! It works!
Just tried it with current alsa cvs and the firmware loads and alsa
likes it (well, almost, I still have problems with sequencer playback
from muse, I have to try rebuilding muse from scratch).
I tested it with an Oxigen8 and a Midisport 2x2. Do you happen to know
if the Midiman Quattro midi interface could use this method as well?
Now I have to create packages for all this :-)
