@Harry Yes dumb as in only sends MIDI (and may even be powered over USB). The problem I have is that I don't know what keyboard it will be. The idea is that I just take my netbook and plug in what is available. @Matt That's encoraging. If a cheap one works easily, there's how that a slightly better one will be OK too - if that's not too optimistic! Also, Alsa MIDI suits me. It's what I've been using up to now on my main setup :) -- Will J Godfrey http://www.musically.me.uk Say you have a poem and I have a tune. Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
