Hello!
I have just been reading your post about remote 25s from 3 years ago!
I just installed a nice fresh debian testing etch system and was
shocked to find the remote 25 appeared in my list of midi ports in
qjackctl - wow. Can't find any docs about this on the web so thought
you might like to know, It's a stock debian 2.6.15 686 kernel using
the alsa drivers that come with it.
After you sent your mail I upgraded my work
laptop to etch over the
weekend with the packaged linux 2.6.15-1-k7. I just plugged my remote
25 into it. amidi -l shows it! Very encouraging. I'll have to actually
use this thing now. :)
excellent - when i bought that thing i phoned novation and
asked them if
they supported linux/ would release specs etc and the support bloke
said, with a laugh, 'never!'. I'd like to see his face when someone
tells him it works plug and play on a stock linux distro no support
required thanks very much.
Well - what are you waiting for?... happy twiddling
Yup ... but, but, there seems to be an issue with the firmware update.
Clemens suggests that my firmware may just be too old to handle the usb
data rate. So, I'll have to install etch on that spare partition on my
main audio box so I can use the old ymfpci card for old-school midi data
transfer.
Of course, I could just build a kernel to make sure I've got the same
usb options and use the existing sarge install. But, I've been meaning
to install etch for a while anyway.
