It looks like an evolution product: http://www.evolution.co.uk/products/evo_uc33e.htm The evolution keyboards in the past were using normal USB MIDI drivers. Good chances that the uc33 is running in compliance with the specification, too. But I can't give a promise here. In case of uc33 it's not written in their product description. Somewhere else? BTW: The controller knobs of my Evolution MK-249C are working fine and ALSA has no evolution quirks inside. I don't know a device of them which wasn't class compliant until now. The Evolution guys were very helpful in the past. They have also written a linux HOWTO for their keyboards. But now they are part of M-Audio and that can change a lot... martin ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials.
