Hi there. Does anybody have a step by step on how to get a little Steinberg USB MIDI 2 (2
ins 2 outs, little blueish box) running with red hat 9? I have installed the planet ccrma
alsa stuff, along with the audio stuff. things are working to some degree (except I
haven't been able to record yet - but I'll wait to ask about that, when my real
sound card comes :) )
I haven't got a clue, basically. I'm pretty new. When I wanted a midi interface
to work in Cakewalk for DOS (that's right, that's what I was using last) I just
downloaded the driver, and copied the driver into a file called driver.something - this
apparently is not quite that simple? (I have read the planet ccrma how to on usb
interfaces - so far nothing, and I was afraid the apt-get hotplug thing would flash
firmware onto my steinberg that wouldn't be right, considering the steinberg isn't
listed on their hardware list...
am I even remotely understandable???
thanks in advance! *laugh*

hotplug is so that your system can communicate with USB devices. If you
already have a usb device that is working you don't need to install it.
You should try using hte usb-audio driver and report what you get with
cat /proc/asound/devices
or cat /proc/asound/cards
If it is standards complient it should work out of the box. If it needs
firmware then Clemens Ladisch is your best bet. But he may be busy.

I forgot to mention on the website that the Steinberg USB-2-MIDI ist
just a relabeled MidiSport 2x2. Please try the midisport_firmware
package from <http://usb-midi-fw.sf.net/>.

Thank you much!!
I have it working now. For other people's reference, here's what I did:
download from http://usb-midi-fw.sf.net/ and follow directions in readme
(which includes getting the win2000 drivers)
then I unplugged the interface from the usb cable, and plugged it back in.
after that I was in business. I'm not sure, but I MIGHT have been in
business before that.
before this email strain I had tried the how-to at
http://ccrma-www.stanford.edu/planetccrma/software/usbmidi.html but after
doing that, my interface didn't show up AND my machine was hanging all over
the place, so I downloaded the rpms instead of using apt-get, that didn't
work, so I changed the two configs mentioned back and did an rpm -e to
uninstall ezusbmidi. THEN I tried the usb-midi-fw.sf.net site
whoa. I just thought that what if I had unplugged and plugged in the
interface after the ccrma how-to? anybody have any thoughts on this?
also what I'm unclear about is if I hadn't done the planet ccrma how-to,
would I have had hotplugs installed, and would this have made a difference
when I was installing the firmware from http://usb-midi-fw.sf.net/?
anyway this phase is accomplished - thanks for your input :)
now my question for all y'all is, are there any sequencer packages for linux
that will sync to Midi Time Code (not MIDI clock, but actual MIDI time
code)? it occurs to me that making, for example, Rosegarden slave to Jack,
might do it, because Jack might sync to actual MIDI time code. but I
haven't figured that out yet. anyone know? (the main sequencer I've been
trying right now is Rosegarden 4) :)
