"[M-Colab] Re: [Musix-users] USB Midisport (license doubt) De: Richard Stallman <[email protected]> Para: [email protected] CC: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Fecha: 23/06/06 00:14" "Would you like to implement, on fsf.org, a list of the USB MIDI interfaces which work with free software, and the ones that don't? We would like that. If you want to do it, please write to [email protected] and he can accept the info from you." Hi John, The ALSA matrix shows many USB MIDI hardware supported by the drivers (snd-usb-audio), but for many of them the user needs non-free software firmwares (this is not showed into the ALSA matrix [4]) I dont really know about all the MIDI USB devices in the world, but I am sure about this ones from M-Audio (midiman) [1] * This USB MIDI interfaces are supported by ALSA and don't need non-free firmware: M Audio USB MidiSport Duo M Audio USB MidiSport Quatro MidiSport 2x4 [3] Newer KeyStation models (49e, 61es, Pro 88) * This USB MIDI interfaces are supported by OSS [2] and don't need non-free firmware: MidiSport 1x1 MidiSport 2x2 Also, there is a non-free package that contains non-free firmware to support other similar devices: "The project page is <http://usb-midi-fw.sourceforge.net/>. For help, discussion or feedback, send a mail to the mailing list at <[email protected]>.written by Clemens Ladisch <[email protected]>" Supported devices with non-free firmware: - MidiSport 4x4 - MidiSport 8x8 - MidiSport Uno - Keystation (old models) - Oxygen - Radium "There is also an OSS driver by NAGANO Daisuke supporting the MidiSport 1x1/2x2 with GPL'd firmware written by Lars Dölle.
