Firmware loaders for Midiman and Tascam USB MIDI devices These packages allow you to use Midiman's MidiSport USB MIDI interfaces and Tascam's USB Audio interfaces with Linux. These devices require a firmware download before an operating system driver (e.g. ALSA's snd-usb-audio) can access them. These loaders use the same firmware used by the Windows drivers, so you need a file of the respective Windows driver to install them. (See README files for details.) -*- The MidiSport firmware loader is required to use USB MIDI devices from M-Audio/Midiman under Linux. Release 0.1 contains some slight enhancements to the installation process, and is the first release hosted on SourceForge.net. Supported devices: MidiSport 1x1, 2x2, 4x4, 8x8, KeyStation, Oxygen, Radium, Uno, and maybe MidiSport 2x4. -*- The Tascam firmware loader is required to use USB MIDI/Audio devices from Tascam under Linux. There is also a loader for the FPGA configuration data included. The firmware and the FPGA configuration data will be extracted from your Windows driver files during installation. This is an initial release. Supported devices: US-122, US-224 and US-428 -*- To download the loaders, go to the project home page: http://usb-midi-fw.sf.net/ martin
