Would someone please point me towards a USB MIDI interface that is known
to work under Linux, particularly with kernels 2.6.18 and later? I
acquired a MOTU Fastlane in August because I found references to it in the
kernel and statements from others about it and Linux. This turned out not
to work. I found that there's a curious bug introduced with kernel 2.6.18
that prevents the interface from working. More bewildering, the bug
prevents my noname soundcard's midi interface from working too. Nobody on
the kernel mailing list seems interested in the problem.
So, what's a good simple USB MIDI interface for Linux?

Hello,
I think that MIDISPORT series USB MIDI interfaces should work.
Best wishes,
Vedran

Hi
I've used the device on Agnula - 64Studio - UbuntuStudio
Simply use fxload to load the firmware on the device.
Something like this to se if your device is pressent:
<command>
sem@STUDIO:~$ lsusb|grep Midiman
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 0763:1110 Midiman
</command>
then brew a little script you can call to start the thing:
<script>
#!/bin/sh
#
export arg1=`lsusb|grep Midiman|cut -d" " -f2`
#
export arg2=`lsusb|grep Midiman|cut -d" " -f4|sed 's/://'`
#
fxload -I /etc/firmware/ezusbmidi2x2.ihx -D /proc/bus/usb/$arg1/$arg2
</script>
The above requires that you download the ezusbmidi2x2.ihx and place it
in a folder and link to it, like in the last line in my script.
If you cant find it, you can download it here om my page "ALERT" the
page is in Danish :)
http://semcity.sv-e.dk/downloads.php?cat_id=4&download_id=16
Then unpack the file, it's possible that the *.ihx has a different name
in the packet, but rename og modify the script as you please.
Good luck

E-Mu XMidi 1X1
Just plug it in, and you magically get another MIDI port. No drivers, no
firmware loader, no faffing about, and they cost less than 20 quid.

Thanks, Ismael. A bit beyond my needs at the moment. I have one external
MIDI device (a Yamaha keyboard), so I just needed IN and OUT
connections. The church whose band I play in has made a noise or two
about replacing its present Yamaha; when they do, I might consider
making an offer on it. But that's a good ways off yet!

I'm also in the market - does it "Just plug and play" as the link
suggests - but on linux without any firmware tweaks?

The long, dangling midi cables permanently attached bug me a bit. When
trying to use a joystick converter midi cable, those extra-long cables
always caused problems.
I'm considering the following:
Emu XMidi 2x2 (no dangling cables)
Eridol UM-2EX (attached USB cable, but has MIDI jacks)
M-Audio Midisport 1x1 (no dangling cables, but requires firmware loader)
Anyone here have an opinion on the Eridol/Roland adapter?

They work like a charm. I got the UM-2 myself.

What card/driver is that?
