Hi Al,
your right on that point: Old windows habits but it's not a driver.
I meant "firmware". My bad. In my case, I had some serious headaches
because of the firmware for my M-Audio Oxygen8 --> didn't worked
immediately after I plugged it in.
No firmware, no oxygen8.
there's no software to use for storing presets on
the Axiom 25 (only
Windows) but that's OK
since I don't need that function.
And the Control Pad came with BFD
drums that so far I cannot use on Linux (haven't looked at it that much
either). I wouldn't call that hardware issues.
I would. Of course this problem isn't caused by the hardware itself but
its a hardware issue to me when I can only use "basic functionality" because
there is no software available to do this kind of job. I had the same
problem
with a Wacom Graphire tablet. No expresskeys, only the basic functions.
Some people can live with that but I don't.
The M-Audio 1010LT card did not require either any
configuration apart
from installing it in the PC and reading the manual to know what the
bunch of wires means.
Just as my terratec. By contrast. a friend of mine is close to throw his
computer out the
window since his soundblaster something doesn't want to record anything.
I don't say that you'll experience constant hardware problems, but that
for a less experienced user it could get dissappointing under certain
circumstances.
And I
wouldn't be surprised that _any_ MIDI keyboard would simply show up in
jack after connecting
That is correct for MIDI devices since it is a very old standard. If you
plug them
in via USB it doesn't have to be that easy --> like my Oxygen 8 or a
friend who
uses the E-MU 0404 USB. No chance.
Best regards,
Sebastian.
