USB is by far the most convenient way to get Midi connectivity on a
modern Linux PC.
>>> MIDI connector is DEFINITLY the best way
to use MIDI!!!
Now, it looks like USB recording interfaces are all we have, so we don't
have a choice. That ain't good at all.
>>> iS IT A POSSIBILITY THAT ALL OF US aLWAYS
HAVE A CHOICE: NOT BUY WHAT WE DON'T WANT????
The computer side: Use an Intel CPU. The person
setting it up should
be willing to find out which of the USB ports on the computer should
be used for this (have their own irq) and which usb ports should
therefore never be used for anything else (often two usb ports are on
an internal hub).
>>> Sorry for all these capital letters before, you must use RTIRQ scriptto
achieve this behaviour of IRQ (important point)
That may or may not be necessary on recent kernels. I'm running a
regular Linus kernel with full pre-emption turned on, and I seldom get
an xrun. I'd only go for an RT kernel if your system isn't behaving
without it.
>>> As said by Brent, RT kernel is not needed
anymore, RTIRQ scriptworks with regular ones..
