Yes. I installed it on a Windows 7 machine and it basically lets me do everything it says bellow: - I can record either the guitar output with or without the effects (processed or unprocessed) while I listen to the processed signal (used Audacity) - I can send the unprocessed recorded signal to the me-80 and loop it back to the computer, but processed (with effects) - Still Roland did not released the software to edit the patches, so I did not test the MIDI part on Windows yet... > > > Did you try to record anything from the device (arecord)? > miguel@miguel-pc:~/Música$ arecord -Dhw:1 --rate=44100 --format=S32_LE audiotest.wav Gravando WAVE 'audiotest.wav' : Signed 32 bit Little Endian, Taxa 44100 Hz, Mono arecord: set_params:1087: Channel count non available.
