I was never really planning on doing it at the driver/hardware hacking level[1]. I'd thought it might be necessary to write an app for it to talk to HID and generate MIDI signals, but it turned out to be possible to use Pure Data installed from Planet CCRMA: http://ibmalone.blogspot.co.uk/2013/11/pure-drumming.html [1] In the distant past I did build a multi-channel power monitor that used the parallel port, that ran with some version of RedHat desktop, but I've never felt very inclined to mess with USB drivers. -- imalone http://ibmalone.blogspot.co.uk _______________________________________________ music mailing list music@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/music
