Hey Chris, nice to see you here ! > You might not know this, but apparently USB audio controllers work with > the Gp2x. One user from this list told me that they got gp2xPd > <http://mccormick.cx/projects/gp2xPd/> working with an off the shelf > controller. I can't test this myself because my gp2x got stolen after a > gig. :( It's kind of a strange situation. Some usb audio to work, some don't. I had success with an old dumb sony MD converter while others fail completely to load. External audio is very random with the GP2x. Thank god, the headphone out is great and has troumendous sound (while the ext out is really bad) so I'm not to worried about it. On the other hand, MIDI usb doesn't work AT ALL. I guess gamepark didn't think people would ever try that. Open2X might be a solution towards that but who knows when it will be available. We did find a way to do midi out tho, using the ext serial port and converting the 'standard' baud rate (midi baud rate is not implemented in the kernel) to proper midi one... see an example here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dyG-rTm-CUs and apparently it wouldn't be too much trouble to modifiy the pic so that we could do midi in too. It's a little tricky but it works > Anyway, maybe it would be cool to add midi controller capabilities to > the piggy to modify parameters in real time? Part of the grandplan for future release will be axed around providing a 16 channel multitimbral midi synth using lgpt's instruments to play on top of sequenced/tracked stuff. For some reason, I'm only eating about 10% of the 2x's capabilities so there's a lot of room for new stuff :) I'm planning on adding not only midi control but probably extended USB Joysticks too, opening the software functionalities to other interfaces than the GUI... I'll keep the features rolling, don't worry ! > Keep up the awesome software + music, *bow* thanks Marc. PS: I guess you must have heard about the pandora project. Definetly one to watch in the "small music box" area. http://www.openpandora.org _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
