It does work, but I'm not sure on the specifics. I've seen and heard Pete
Goodeve using it with a keyboard, tying it into his music weaver software.
He can probably give you details on his setup.

Mine looks the same, but I guess that's no guarantee that it will *work*
the same. (:-/) If it's "Standard Compliant", though, it should just plug
in and work.

A lot of manufacturers (like Yamaha) have their own protocol rather than
the standard, and we haven't tried to cover them all. But -- though my
Italian is non-existent! -- I read that device as being "new", so I'd be
pretty sure that it is compliant.

MusicWeaver might be the easiest way to test it. Its "MidiLink" element
will let you select from the available MIDI Producers and Consumers, and
for a start you could just loop back a connection from Input to Output.
You could also connect a "MidiMon" and a "StreamView" to see arriving
MIDI events as text.

The device should appear as /dev/midi/usb/0-0

Hi Pete,
thank you for the reply!
I've read also about the latency of HDA driver (about 10-12 ms), using
auich drivers the latency can be set via the auich.settings config
file, there is something similar for the HDA driver? I have also
another audio card, a Phase 22 by Terratec, which uses standard midi
connectors, but works only (and partially) using OSS driver.
Could you give some suggestion for a similar audio card which works
good in Haiku? I can also buy an ESI Maya44..

Best regards.
