It should work. I use the Evolution UC-33 (I need more knobs and sliders) and it's really plug and play. Follow the setup instructions on www.alsa-project.org or alsa.opensrc.org regarding a standard USB audio device (USB midi is treated the same as audio and even uses the same driver), and you should be set. The only problem could be, that hotplug automatically loads the OSS usbmidi driver. You can add "usbmidi" and "audio" and "usbaudio" to your "hotplug" blacklist (often /etc/hotplug/blacklist) to prevent this. Check with "lsmod | grep usb" that you do not have "usbmidi" loaded after you plugged in the device. It should then work with any application that can read data from the ALSA sequencer or the /dev/midiX raw midi devices. I use the UC-33 with Pure data (Pd) for almost a year now, wonderful device. The Xsession is like the little brother of the UC-33. Ciao -- Frank Barknecht _ ______footils.org__
