Anyone has had experiences with Midiman USB or Firewire interfaces?
I'm particularily interested in Omnistudio (USB) and Audiophile
(Firewire). But prior to buying, I would like to know if they're known
to work (well?) under Linux.
Thanks

The firewire ones aren't supported at all (yet), the USB one is I think,
but you need to load firmware, which is a pain.
My impression (not having tried one of these) is that you are better off
going for a manufacturer that makes class compliant USB devices, or
waiting for firewire support (dont hold your breath!).

in case you didn't, checkout the page at
http://usb-midi-fw.sourceforge.net/ but it mentions "Nothing is known
about the OmniStudio USB". but i must say it was more or less easy to
make my midiman oxygen8 usb midi-keyboard work. the less funny part is
you have to download the windows driver and run the .exe on a windows
pc, in order to get the correct firmware file. but if you have Wine
installed you can download and run the .exe on a linuxbox. the firmware
file is located then in ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/temp if i remember well.
and i needed a 2.6-mm kernel too to make it work. could'n load the
needed modules with a 2.4 kernel.
