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

yes, bandwidth is sufficient but the host polls in 1 ms intervals
with usb < 2.0, so in effect you trade one evil for another.

they mean the alsa drivers. in fact, my card came with alsa 0.5
sources on the CD. don't know about usb midi hw.

specs ?
the alsa folks seem to have good contact to them, but m-man will
not release specs to anyone.

If I remember correctly, there were people here, who had the Oxygen8
working with USB. Internally it has a Midiman 1x1 USB interface, that
should even work with latest ALSA as USB-Midi. I have the Oxygen8, but
I'm using it via Midi-In.
That's okay for me, I cannot play that fast anyway :)
ciao

I think it uses the same chip as the Midiman 1x1, but it's different
somehow. In either case, it involves changing the firmware each time the
device is turned on. Luckily, it works fine without USB.
