Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
However, I found that it starts up with a
firmware update message, and apart
from Note On, Note Off, Channel Pressure, none of the controls work, not
even the ones designated for manually setting the others.
On conacting nektar for support, it took over 2 days for them to tell me
that I had to install the firmware.
WTF!
I've never heard of any hardware being effectively dead until you install
firmware. What's more, so much for supporting Linux, the software to install
the firmware is Windows or MacOs - nothing else.
I wonder if it's worth asking them to consider supporting LVFS (https://
fwupd.org/). Support for it seems to be growing at a healthy pace (e.g., Dell
and Logitech support it), and I think most major distributions install fwupd
by default now.
