[usb-midi-fw-user] Midisport4x4 on Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS

[Guy R. <guy...@gm...>]

Hi,

<Not sure how active this group still is, but giving it a try anyhow>

I was trying to get my Midisport 4x4 up and running on Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS
But ran (and still running) into some issues, allow me to give an overview:

- downloaded/extracted 'midisport-firmware-1.2.tar.gz'
- ran 'configure'
problem1: 'checking for udev version... ./configure: line 1740: udevinfo:
command not found'
=> created softlink (in '/usr/bin') from 'udevinfo' to 'udevadm' (seems to
be the replacement)
problem2: 'configure: error: udev version 057 or later is required'
=> got around by replacing (in 'configure') 'udev_ver=`udevinfo -V | awk '{
print $3 }'`' by 'udev_ver=`udevinfo -V'
(since 'udevadm -V' simply returning '249')
- running 'make' and 'sudo make install'
=> seems to be running fine,
  => copying multiple 'MidiSport*.ihx' files in
'/usr/local/share/usb/maudio'
  => creating '/etc/udev/rules.d/42-midisport-firmware.rules '

after reboot, my Midisport is not showing up though, syslog revealing:
'...systemd-udevd[289]: 3-1:1.0: Process '/usr/sbin/fxload -s
/usr/local/share/usb/maudio/MidiSportLoader.ihx -I
/usr/local/share/usb/maudio/MidiSport4x4.ihx' failed with exit code 255.'

when trying to run that manually I get:
'no device specified!
usage: /usr/sbin/fxload [-vV] [-l] [-t type] [-D devpath]
[-I firmware_hexfile] [-s loader] [-c config_byte]
[-L link] [-m mode]
... [-D devpath] overrides DEVNAME= and DEVICE= in env
... device types:  one of an21, fx, fx2, fx2lp
... at least one of -I, -L, -m is required'

anyone an idea if:
1/ what I did so far to circumvent issues is fine
2/ how to get passed this fxload issue ? I guess the api/cmdline options
have changed but so far no luck to circumvent this..

KR,

Guy

/dev/midi is the long-obsolete OSS interface.  While the Kernel still
supports it, Ubuntu has not enabled it.

Have a look in /dev/snd/, but you are supposed to use the RawMidi or
MIDI Sequencer APIs (which are mostly undocumented).

[usb-midi-fw-user] USB MidiSport and /dev/midi??

[John M. <jm...@gm...>]

Hello.

I am trying to learn midi programming under Ubuntu 14.04 - and a beginner
at both.  I keep running into what is likely an elementary problem which  I
don't know how to solve when running examples:

The majority of example programs address /dev/midi/, and whilst I have got
the midisport-firmware installed, there is no /dev/midi/  so I can't run
the examples successfully.

Is there some way to get /dev/midi?  (Probably /dev/midi0 and /dev/midi1 ?)

My unit is a USB MidiSport 2x2, and I can list the following.

mount |grep udev  gives
udev on /dev type devtmpfs (rw,mode=0755)

[usb-midi-fw-user] Midiman Oxygen 8 on Fedora 19

[Oliver S. <ol...@qu...>]

Hi,
I just pulled my Midiman Oxygen 8 off of the shelf, and I would like to 
use it with my Fedora 19 system. Thanks for having a project to load the 
firmware into the Midiman Oxygen!

The project has been dormant for a while now, and there seem to be a few 
changes to Linux distros since the last revision.

I had to change the configure.ac file to use udevadm instead of udevinfo 
and the corresponding awk command from $3 to $1, but it seemed to run well.

Except after installing it, KMidimon doesn't show any input to the system.

Any tips on helping me get started figuring out what changed between 
2006 and 2013?

Many thanks,
Oliver

That's what the kernel outputs.  You don't get any messages for when
udev decides not to do anything.

Try the following rule to check whether the rules file gets executed at all:

ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", RUN+="/usr/bin/logger new device: $attr{idVendor} $attr{idProduct}"

Try the following rule to check whether the madfuload rule should get run:

ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0763", SYSFS{idProduct}=="2808", RUN+="/usr/bin/logger running madfuload on $env{DEVNAME}"

Is $env{DEVNAME} actually set?  If not, try replacing it with $tempnode.

[usb-midi-fw-user] Troubles With Ubuntu Studio v13.04, M-Audio Ozone, and madfuload_amd64 v1.2

[Jimmy G. <jim...@gm...>]

Hi,

I try to use the madfuload_amd64 package on Ubuntu studio 13.04 (64-bit), it installs correctly and i've edited the /lib/udev/42-madfuload.rules according to what seems to have worked for others, but no luck.

/lib/udev/rules.d/42-madfuload.rules:
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0763", SYSFS{idProduct}=="2808", RUN+="/usr/sbin/madfuload -l -3 -f/usr/share/usb/maudio/ma008100.bin -D $env{DEVNAME}"

(Also tried /usr/local/... which doesn't work either. But the file locations entered above are correct)


dmesg gives me the following, after restarting udev)
[  182.032362] usb 2-4: USB disconnect, device number 3
[  183.685060] usb 2-4: new full-speed USB device number 4 using ohci_hcd
[  183.873253] usb 2-4: New USB device found, idVendor=0763, idProduct=2808

[  183.873261] usb 2-4: Product: Unknown
[  183.873263] usb 2-4: Manufacturer: Unknown


What am I doing wrong? "Nothing" happens. For what I can see, madfuload exists and is executable, so is the ma008100.bin file.

Jimmy

[usb-midi-fw-user] Installation midi-treiber

[<Ot...@gm...>]

Hallo Clemens,

ich muss vorausschicken, dass ich seit ein paar Tagen zu den Ubuntu 12.04 - Usern "aufgestiegen " bin.... soll heißen, ich bin völlig unbeleckt... Daher meine Frage mit den Bitte um Deine Hilfe:
Ich habe also ein midisport 1x1 (aus der Windows-Zeit) den ich nun im Ubuntu nutzen möchte. Ich habe das "midisort-firmware-1.2" vom 05.03.2006 in die Archivverwaltung heruntergeladen.
Tja und dann bin ich mit meinem Latein am Ende.
Könntest Du mir vielleicht für Anfänger etwas genauer beschreiben, was ich nun tun muss, um den Treiber an USB zu installieren. das
     run   ./configure      ....usw. aus der read.me  war leider nicht hilfreich. Irgendwie müsste ich doch da eine Kommandozeile haben.... ?
Keine Ahnung... bitte gib mit mal paar Tipps....

Vielen Dank und noch einen schönen Sonntag
Lutz

Does the Midisport have its own software where you can congfigure MIDI
clock or syncing?

If yes, this would be some vendor-specific firmware extension.  It
might be possible to find out how to configure the device if you can
monitor the MIDI commands send by the Windows driver, or by running
the Windows driver in a virtual machine and using Linux's usbmon.

[usb-midi-fw-user] Midisport 8x8s Timing Problems

[Andreas H. <he...@no...>]

Hi everybody,

is this mailing list still active?

I have a problem with my Midisport 8x8/s.
When I use rosegarden with jack (or any other sequencer software) and
try to sync external Midi Devices using the Midi Clock I get a very
unstable sync.
For example, if I try to sync a delay effect I hear glitches every few
seconds due to resyncs and the display of my effect unit reports bpm
values varying from 124 to 139 (for a fixed bpm setting of 130 in
rosegarden).
When I use the same devices on Windows I get a very stable clock signal
and everything works fine.

Is this a common problem of the Linux kernel, the alsa usb module or the
firmware?
Any ideas how to analyze the problem or - even better - how to fix it?

If it's of any help: I run a regular Ubuntu-Linux natty x86_64 (kernel
2.6.38-8-generic) and use the firmware package from the ubuntu package
sources on a Core i5.

Cheers,

Andreas

[usb-midi-fw-user] Lucid Lynx and madfuload

[Jean-Yves P. <jy...@gm...>]

Hi

I've updgraded my Ubuntu to Lucid Lynx 10.04 and I'm trying to run my
M-Audio USB MobilePre soundcard using Madfuload 1.2.

Here's the output when I try to manually load the firmware.

therockers@houseRockin:~$ madfuload -v -3 -f
/usr/share/usb/maudio/ma004103.bin -D /dev/bus/usb/008/006
/usr/share/usb/maudio/ma004103.bin: 6010 bytes read successfully
reading device descriptor ...
interface descriptor 0:0
DFU interface is 0
DFU descriptor found
transfer size is 64
waiting 32 ms
cannot reset device: (19) No such device


The USB sound card has now switched from bus 008 - device 006 to bus 008
device 007.
My dmesg log doesn't show any recognition of the card by ALSA ; I remember
it prompted something about the snd_module loading.

In the source code I see that there is a comment just above the printing of
"cannot reset device: (19) No such device" which says :
if (usb_reset() == -1)
/* might fail because the device has already reset itself ... */
 warning("cannot reset device: (%d) %s", errno, strerror(errno));

Is this normal ? I'm surprised once the firmware's loaded there is a change
in bus/device configuration...

Thanks a lot

so there seems to be a problem with the 4x4 file.

[usb-midi-fw-user] madfu-firmware 1.2 requires maintenance - solution inside

[Klaus S. <kls...@go...>]

Hi there.


I'd apprectate if you could update the madfu-firmware madufload package:


It won't work unless you update the UDEV rules in 42-madfuload.rules.in for
M-Audio Transit must be:

ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{PRODUCT}=="763/2806/*",
RUN+="/usr/sbin/madfuload -l -3 -f /usr/share/usb/maudio/ma006100.bin -D
$env{DEVNAME}"

OPTION: change path to /usr/local/... depending how you compile the source

Tested under Debian/Ubuntu up to Jaunty.


M-Audio also released a new firmware: ma006101.bin   I recommend to
introduce the firmware to the package. I can make it available.


Let me know if I can be of further support.


Cheers
\Klaus
