using the audiofire12 as the audio device, and the midisport as the midi
device, what is the latency you are seeing reported from JACK? what are your
JACK settings? have you tried pushing it lower? what kernel are you using
(run in a terminal "uname -a" without the quotes) ... MIDI itself is not
that much data, so i am proposing that the latency you are experiencing is
not related to the MIDI device (the midisport) but whatever you are using to
monitor (internal card, or the audiofire12) or how JACK and/or the machine
is configured...

Good to know midisport is still ok, but are there no other devices running
on linux?

Did you ask in the ffado users mailing list? What is the output of
ffado-diag?

recommended midi hub?

2011-02-22 Thread bart deruyter
Hi all,

I've got a usb2midi device, that works quite well, though there is a bit of
a latency problem when recording. It's a midisport2x2. That's not the only
problem I have with it, it is limited to 2 midi ports. I'd like to have more
midi devices connected to my PC, like my guitar effects, which could be
controlled by a sequencer, or the other way round, the effects pedal
controlling rakarrack.
I already have both midi ports connected, one to a digital drum and another
to a keyboard, but in the future I'd like to add more instruments and midi
controlled tools.

To be able to expand enough, I'd be thinking of a 6x6 or even 8x8 midi hub,
if that exists, and is possible without noticeable latency. Which brands are
certainly working very well in ubuntustudio? I already had to face a
disappointment with my audiofire 12, which has a midi port, in and out, but
is not reachable through jack, though the FFADO site reported the audiofire
to be 100% supported.

Any ideas?

grtz,
Bart
