[Alsa-user] Edirol PCR-80 USB Midi controller

[John C. <pp0...@li...>]

I'm having problems getting this thing to work and ive noticed that other 
edirol controllers work out of the box (its the same product line, just more 
keys). 

Heres my story,
Im running 2.6.7 and usb-midi and snd-usb-audio are both compiled fine as 
modules, and run fine. At first i didn't think my controller was being picked 
up at all, but then i noticed /proc/bus/usb/devices...

	T:  Bus=02 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=01 Cnt=01 Dev#=  3 Spd=12  MxCh= 0
	D:  Ver= 1.10 Cls=ff(vend.) Sub=00 Prot=ff MxPS=64 #Cfgs=  1
	P:  Vendor=0582 ProdID=0033 Rev= 1.00
	S:  Manufacturer=Roland
	S:  Product=EDIROL PCR

So it is there. Also when i lsusb...

	Bus 002 Device 003: ID 0582:0033 Roland Corp.

Also /proc/asound/cards...

	2 [PCR            ]: USB-Audio - PCR
       	              		    EDIROL PCR at usb-0000:00:02.0-2, full speed

However when i cat /proc/asound/card2/midi0 i get...

	Output 0
	  Tx bytes     : 0
	Output 1
	  Tx bytes     : 0
	Input 0
	  Rx bytes     : 0
	Input 1
	  Rx bytes     : 0
	Input 2
	  Rx bytes     : 0

Ie, it doesn't seem to be recieving anything. Also when i cat everything midi 
in /dev/sound and hit the keys like a coked up racoon i get absolutely 
nothing.

Now i saw a problem like this on this list before (and hense why ive asked 
here, clever huh ;) ), but it was from a while ago. Something like January 
2003 or something. I was hoping somebody could give me a more up to date 
solution, or a solution at all (ive no idea if the patch provided back then 
works or not). 

Any help would be appreciated guys, thanks a lot!
Cheers!
