I'd like to comment on this a bit to avoid misunderstandings: What Dev mean= s=20 is, I think, the more refined areas of MIDI support and the sequencer API. OSS (as offered by 4front) has been offering solid MIDI input/output for a= =20 long time, but at the moment there is hardly ANY MIDI support in the driver= s=20 that ship with FreeBSD - you can't in fact hook up a controller keyboard to= a=20 =46reeBSD system in any reasonable way, which is naturally quite frustratin= g=20 for people like Conrad. =2D-=20 ,_, | Michael Nottebrock | lofi@freebsd.org (/^ ^\) | FreeBSD - The Power to Serve | http://www.freebsd.org \u/ | K Desktop Environment on FreeBSD | http://freebsd.kde.org --Boundary-02=_gFb9ABz6NADMrLH Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Description: signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBA9bFgXhc68WspdLARAqPMAJ9O56vbp0Q8jdW0cEJbySQTcYCMdQCeJwBI lj+DiTySA28DD2mcZdK3ypw= =UDHI -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Boundary-02=_gFb9ABz6NADMrLH--
