Hi Al, your right on that point: Old windows habits but it's not a driver. I meant "firmware". My bad. In my case, I had some serious headaches because of the firmware for my M-Audio Oxygen8 --> didn't worked immediately after I plugged it in. No firmware, no oxygen8. > there's no software to use for storing presets on the Axiom 25 (only Windows) but that's OK > since I don't need that function. > And the Control Pad came with BFD > drums that so far I cannot use on Linux (haven't looked at it that much > either). I wouldn't call that hardware issues. I would. Of course this problem isn't caused by the hardware itself but its a hardware issue to me when I can only use "basic functionality" because there is no software available to do this kind of job. I had the same problem with a Wacom Graphire tablet. No expresskeys, only the basic functions. Some people can live with that but I don't. > The M-Audio 1010LT card did not require either any configuration apart > from installing it in the PC and reading the manual to know what the > bunch of wires means. Just as my terratec. By contrast. a friend of mine is close to throw his computer out the window since his soundblaster something doesn't want to record anything. I don't say that you'll experience constant hardware problems, but that for a less experienced user it could get dissappointing under certain circumstances. > And I > wouldn't be surprised that _any_ MIDI keyboard would simply show up in > jack after connecting That is correct for MIDI devices since it is a very old standard. If you plug them in via USB it doesn't have to be that easy --> like my Oxygen 8 or a friend who uses the E-MU 0404 USB. No chance.
