MIDI did work but now doesn't. It shows up in
QJackCtl's window, but
no MIDI signals are passed through; even more telling, the MIDI IN LED
on the unit doesn't light. I've tested the controller with a BCR2000
and it works fine; have also tried another controller with the Tascam.
Again, the ports are apparently recognized by ALSA - in addition,
audio works fine. I'm guessing it's a hardware failure of the Tascam,
and I'll need to replace the unit, but I wanted to ask if you all can
think of anything else linux-related I'm not thinking of.
I use a Tascam US-122 on various Linux/PPC machines, and I've had this
happen before. I wish I could say exactly what it is, but I'm pretty
sure it's a software misconfiguration. I think each time, it must have
been caused by upgrades I did, but I never paid sufficiently close
attention, alas. Check whether you have the usb-midi kernel module
loaded (in addition to all the usx2y stuff), et cetera.
Hope this helps.
