Hi y'all I have a bcf2000 that's been working well. Sometime in the last 2 months or so (I've been busy with other things) it stopped responding to inputs - ie the sliders don't move and the buttons and LED rings don't light up in response to incoming midi - they work fine if they're triggered from the unit itself. However, Ardour and Rosegarden both respond to inputs from the controls, and if I can see incoming midi data if I use amidi. Re-sending the 1.10 firmware worked fine, so it's not a problem with sending midi data to the unit. I've tried saying amidi -p hw:2,0,0 -r tmp.syx and then moving a slider, and then using amidi -p hw:2,0,0 -s tmp.syx to send the exact data back to the unit (after I've put the slider somewhere else). But the slider doesn't move. Same story using cat and the /dev files. I'd really appreciate it if someone could try out the above and let me know if it works. Then I'll know whether to take the unit to be repaired, or to carry on fighting with my setup. FWIW, I'm using 2.6.16-rt23, and alsa-lib-1.0.11. thanks John
