Hi all,
Getting a new electronic drum kit today, so I'll be needing a midi
interface. I have an Asus A7V8X-X, which claims to have midi support
on the VIA chipset. Finding the headers for the mobo is difficult.
Assuming I can't find them, what's a good PCI mpu-401 interface that
works well with linux kernel 2.6? I'd like to stay away from anything
that requires me to load proprietary firmware. I expect to need 2
ports. More would be good if it's not too expensive.
If I need to, I guess I could pick up some cheap Creative labs boards-
my old SBLive had a midi interface.

the mpu401 is not supported by the via chipset, but by the ITE8712AF
Superio chipset on the mobo. midi is avail an the 15 pin header below
this chip. the header has an standard gameport layout

RMA line on Monday and ask to purchase and accessory.
Hopefully, they won't gauge me for it....

You could also try purchasing an SBLive! for really cheap just to use
the midi interface. You'd need one of the joystick->midi converters also
(which seem to be fairly widely available).
later,

They are unbelievely bad MIDI interfaces. Some time ago I had to
deactivate aftertouch on my master keyboard so the interface won't get
clobbered by so many MIDI messages.
Maybe a driver issue, of course!
Cordially, Ismael
