Re: [linux-audio-user] m-audio radium USB midi keyboard

Hi, Eric Dantan Rzewnicki hat gesagt: // Eric Dantan Rzewnicki wrote: Yes, that's the bottom line. For USB, someone has to write a driver. The Oxygen has an USB driver (it's a Midisport inside) in newer ALSA versions, I don't know, if the Radium has a driver, but probably it also has a Midisport inside, so it might work with USB as well. But you will have to install the USB driver. OTOH Midi is a standard protocol and it was designed to make interoperability of devices possible. So you only need a midi interface to connect the keyboard to your computer. Most soundcards already have a midi interface onboard, as do most mainboards nowadays, so you probably only need a midi cable and maybe a gameport/midi adapter for some soundcards (like the SBLive). Don't buy the M-Audio one, $29.95 is horrendously overpriced, even for a cable with gameport adapter. Go to your local hardware outlet (computer or music) and buy a noname cable. ciao -- Frank Barknecht _ ______footils.org__
