I have a Behringer UMX61 which "just works". I'm not a keyboard guy so I can't tell you whether it's a great keyboard, but it's suitable for a hack like myself. On linux you can: - hook it up to a soft synth (Zynaddsubfx, Hexter, etc.) - hook it up to a sequencer (Rosegarden, Muse, hopefully Ardour soon) - not sure what else The UMX has a bunch of knobs on it, in some synths (Phasex for example) you can assign different parameters to the different knobs, so that you can play around with the synth using the knobs on the keyboard which is cool. Cheers...Steve ps. Anyone packaging Phasex? I am keen to learn how to package and thought that might be a nice place to start. -- Ubuntu-Studio-users mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users
