I may as well reply, as everone is pushing useable keyboards. Mine is Evolution MK-225C, and works just fine, apart from the same problems that Lars had with getting snd-usb-audio to load as the second card. Incidentally: FC1, FC2 needed the alias's and options setting to load the cards in the correct order. FC3 seems to have got over the problem, and set them up correctly. Debian Sarge, I had to put the alias's and options in /etc/modutils then run update-modules. Gentoo's genkernel didn't have snd-usb-audio enabled in the kernel, so had to compile another kernel, and enable it, along with adding realtime at the same time. Slackware 10.0 with Audioslack's mm kernel I think set it up correctly without my interference. I've also got a Zoom Rhythmtrak RT323 Drum machine. I havn't been able to try this, as I left the backplate with the midi connection for the Audigy2 soundblaster in England. Does anyone know if this works ok? Also is there something I could use to convert the midi out from the drum machine to USB in? I think keyboards are in the lead on this poll at the moment. Nigel.
