I’m new to Linux and trying to get my midi interfaces to work. I found vampirefrog’s drivers on GitHub but not sure how to get them installed on my pc. I have the MOTU Express 128 and the micro express. Running latest version of Ubuntu Studio LTS. Any help appreciated.

Re: MOTU Midi Interface assistance needed
Make a dedicated dir in your homedir for building stuff. Open that dir in terminal.
Install git:
Code: Select all
sudo apt install git
Run to copy the github stuff to your machine:
Code: Select all
git clone https://github.com/vampirefrog/motu.git
Enter dir:
Code: Select all
cd motu
And follow further instructions from the github page. You probably need to install all kinds of dependencies before you can successfully build it.

Re: MOTU Midi Interface assistance needed
I’ve got a package for this on the AUR.
Keep in mind that there are two variants (motu & motu-dkms); the motu package needs to be recompiled against new kernel versions, whereas the DKMS package will automatically rebuild itself when a new kernel is installed.
If you’re not using Arch Linux, then the package itself can give you a good idea of how to install for other distributions.
