Maybe you could help me? I recently purchased the A-800 Pro keyboard and a personal user license of Reaper (v5.95) for Linux (Mint), plus an M-Audio Midisport 2x2 midi interface. My purpose is organ practice and recording audio. Somehow I cannot find out how to get the keyboard working in Linux. Whatever I try (via interface, directly via usb), Reaper doesn't recognise the keyboard. I am completely inexperienced with DAWs and rather overwhelmed by all the options. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

First thing to do would be check that kernel finds that.
Try:
- unplug that keyboard from usb
- run dmesg | tail -n10
- plug keyboard back to usb
- run dmesg | tail -n15
From that later output, checking lines that have been added after first run of dmesg | tail would tell does kernel find driver to that keyboard. You can post output here in case you have problems understanding those line by yourself.

For linux, you must turn off the a800's "advanced midi mode". Page 65 in your manual tells you how.
Then restart your a800.

Alas, still not working. When I run dmesg I get the following output...

Again, I am quite new with both Linux and DAW's, so I did not completely comprehend what I needed to do with dmesg.
