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).
Well, I think it was just stale preferences in Muse that were causing
the errors. I started activating all the tracing options in Muse, got
lots of printouts and at some point I did a "Save Preferences" and after
that it was working fine, both input and output. Hmmm, I thought that at
some point I did erase all the .files related to Muse, maybe I missed
one?
Anyway, it is working now...
