The "Device Firmware Upgrade Specification" describes a vendor- and

device. Older USB devices from Midiman (MidiSport interfaces,
KeyStation keyboards) required a device-specific firmware loader, but
when a device implements the DFU specification (such as the Sonica or
the Ozone), it is possible to use one loader for all these devices, so
user's don't have to wait until somebody manages to write a loader for
their device. (Of course, now you have to wait for somebody to write
the DFU loader, but that's only once. :)

I get it, someone wrote a loader for the midisport, I use the quattro,
but I haven't had the firmware issue with it, the midi works as a normal
snd-usb device from alsa.

The Quattro doesn't need any firmware.
USB is making the world a lot easier, isn't it? ;)

The Ozone should work, its a asb audio/midi device, so if its standard, it
should just be able to use snd-usb, unless there's something weird about
it.

I mean usb device, but if the driver isn't standard there won't be any
hope of getting it to work (at least the audio part).

I guess the thing to do is bring my laptop to the store, ask politely
for a quiet corner for an hour and check it out...
Thanks for the feedback

I've looked at the firmware; the audio part of the Ozone appears to be
standard-compliant. The only problem is to get the firmware into the
device.

There's no need for this; currently, it simply won't work.

A decent store will let you do it, some place like West LA Music, just
compile alsa with the snd-usb driver and then take it to the store, take
an extra usb cable and then plug into the unit, you would also want to use
headphones so you can see if the audio part is working right, try playing
an mp3 on your laptop and if its like the quattro you'll hear sound coming
out. PD is good for testing stuff, launch pd and see if you get midi
input/output going on in the "test midi and audio" section under help.

But this is a moot point, sounds like the ozone has the same problem as
the midisport, except there's no firmware available yet, oh well. I get
the same sort of setup using the quattro and a miditech midicontrol which
has a knob bank and 49 keys (and its under $200).

Being on stage with the band in front of crowds shouting, "Get off! No!
We want normal music!", I think that was more like acting than anything
I've ever done.

Yeah, I need to get on the ball and get the rest of the way through my C
programming books so I could help as well.
