Hi: Haven't posted to this list before, but have been using Linux audio for awhile. Any help for a linux midi newbie? I have a Motu Midi Express XT interface which I can't seem to configure correctly. I have been through all of the tutorials on the Planet CCRMA website for USB midi setup, as well as tweaked /etc/hotplug, /etc/blacklist and the /etc/modules.conf (snd_limit=4 for two devices: audio card and midi interface) with no good results. Anyone know of a place where I can find some tips on how to set this device up? I have a SoundBlaster Live card and am going to make the move to RME pretty soon. The Motu Express XT falls into the machine ok, but I can't make it sit in the machine without it stealing my audio card. I.e. I can't make both devices work at the same time. Any tips? Thanks very much for any help given, gk
