Roland A-800 Pro
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.

Re: Roland A-800 Pro
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.

Re: Roland A-800 Pro
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.
