Edirol UM-1S/E, Midiman MidiSport 1x1/Uno, Yamaha UX16 all work in Linux. There isn't much of a difference between them, except that the driver installation for MidiSport devices is slightly more complicated. > And what driver do I need for it? ALSA (0.9.x) has drivers for all of them; for the MidiSport, you'd need an additional firmware download utility. The OSS driver in kernels >= 2.4.20 supports them, too (but is slightly buggy).
