I'll see what I end up getting my hands on :) I found only one minor problem with the LP: it transmits MIDI using running status, the top row uses a controller while the rest uses note on/off. Even after a soft reset the LP will not tranmit the status byte until it changes. So when using the ALSA interface you don't get any events until the status changes for the first time. From then on all is OK. Actually there are only two buttons of the 80 which have the same data except status. The interface I wrote exploits this and will find the missing status byte except for those two buttons. -- FA _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
