My question is, are there any interfaces that are pretty much just easily plug-and-play with Ubuntu? Seeing lots of complaints about various interfaces not working (M-Audio MIDISport 4x4 & Tascam US-144 MKii.) Been researching how to get those working, with not much luck.
Going OK so far, however, none of my USB MIDI and Audio+MIDI interfaces are working. Just got a new job where I need to become familiar with Linux, so, installed KXStudio on a laptop. So, yeah, I'm new to Ubuntu and all, but have otherwise been doing music on computers for decades. You should notice a difference because the second time the M-Audio "is in there somewhere" in the list of devices: Type the following command in a terminal twice (use copy/paste): once without- and once with the M-Audio connected.
That's a very good sign! In my opinion it should absolutely work in Linux. Now, M-Audio's website says that this device is class compliant. I'll guess that it supports Midi over DIN as well as over USB. Am I right? There is an USB port there but I don't know if its for power only or if the device supports Midi over USB too. It looks like a 5-pin DIN Midi IN and OUT device. The printer part might not need a separate driver because it is "automatically" supported by Linux while the scanner might not work at all (no Linux driver available)įirst let me concentrate on the M-Audio MIDISport 4x4. Printers combined w/ a scanner, for instance, are notoriously irritating in that way in Linux. If you're unlucky you need a driver for one or both if the interface is not class compliant. However, they might be combined into one single device (just like an electric battery and a combustion engine in a car). Welcome to Linux and welcome to making music on Linux.Īn audio interface is something completely different than a Midi interface.
