I have not yet tried it. My project this past weekend was figuring out
the ecasound chain settup for a project I've had in mind for years...
It's exciting to have finally made some progress on it. :)
Hopefully this coming weekend, or possibly wednesday of this week, I'll
try the remote 25. I'm not exactly sure how to proceed. I haven't used
any usb devices before, so I don't know what I need to do to test it.
Is there a FAQ, howto or quicktoot on setting up a USB MIDI device? If
not I'll write up something basic if I can get this working.
I know I'll need to recompile the kernel with usb support, but looking
at it briefly in make menuconfig there appear to be a lot of options.
These seem the most pertinent:
CONFIG_USB (obviously)
CONFIG_USB_UHCI_ALT (turned on by default when CONFIG_USB is selected)
CONFIG_USB_AUDIO ??? is this needed for a midi device, or is that only
for USB audio interfaces?
Anything else? there are some verbose debugging options or something
like that. Are those helpful?
Presumably some userspace packages need to be installed (i'm on debian
testing at home): hotplug, usbmgr, libusb
Then there are the alsa modules: usb-audio, serialmidi(probably this
isn't needed?)
I'll need to install an application for it to talk to as well. I'll
probably try it with ams or ssm.
Anyway, to answer your question, I haven't had time to try it, yet. But,
I will soon. I'll let you know what I find out.
