Hi John,
I just saw your email to the LAU list and I would like to reply to it
but I couldn't since I was not registered to this mailing list. So I
have to create a new thread, sorry for the flood. :/
TL;DR: Don't worry about updating the Kernel, ALSA or anything. MIDI
over BLE is part of the BlueZ user-space and it is not released yet. So,
if you are too eager to try it out (I recommend), you have to build
bluetoothd yourself, check my blog for more information[1]. MIDI over
USB works just fine.
Technical stuff:
* The Bluetooth Low Energy support for MIDI is not in the Linux Kernel.
It is part of BlueZ's bluetoothd daemon, so you need to update BlueZ
user-space only. The thing is that it was not released yet, so if you
want the feature you have to compile bluetoothd yourself for now.
* The MIDI-USB is in the Linux Kernel, but you don't need to update that
since the drivers there are working for a long time now (thanks to
Clemens Ladisch and others). The changes for v4.9 I mentioned on my blog
impacts only the *gadget* driver only! The gadget driver is used for USB
devices (keyboard) and not USB hosts (your computer).
* You can ignore those pulseaudio errors on your log. That is because
pulseaudio tries to handle any ALSA Card that exports a PCM device and
since the MIDI device opens a new ALSA Card but it only exports a MIDI
device, it will fail to open it.
So, you can use your Seaboard RISE with USB just fine on Linux.
PS: How do you find using your RISE? Are you interested in having the
Equator synth and Dashboard applications on Linux? If so let me know, I
can arrange these for you (or anyone else). We, at ROLI, want to release
a beta version for Linux, it will be great to know if users are
interested in it.

Nevertheless very interesting!
I hope that more commercial develepors release Linux versions of their
sound apps *and* support them!

Hi Felipe,
Sadly, I just couldn't get on with it. I'm not a good player and I was
surprised how much I need to look at the keys, which are hard to see in
my dimly lit room. I was able to return it thanks to 'Distance Selling'
regulations in the UK. Wish I could have kept it just for the looks.
I was able to try it in Windows 7. I'm not sure if the Equator and
Dashboard apps would be appreciated by Linux users, but perhaps an
easy way to change the Dashboard settings would be easier than porting
quite graphical applications.
Great that you put so much work into Linux with permission from ROLI.
My best regards to you and your employer.

Sorry to hear that. The Seaboard is a little different from a normal keyboard indeed. I am
not a keyboard player either, but today I am so used with the Seaboard that I find quite
annoying to play normal keyboard.

Both applications are already ported to Linux thanks to JUCE. :)
On the video I posted I am running Equator on my Arch Linux.

Hi, I don't own a Seaboard (it's too expansive for me, right now), but I'm
really interested in products which are supported on Linux too... And I
might even be able to afford one, some day.
So, that's very good news, but I can't find the video you mentioned, where
is it?
Thank you for your efforts,
Maurizio

It's a video I did upload about MIDI over BLE on Linux:

Probably an implementation in national law of EU regulation, but hey who
needs the EU... :p
