MIDI keyboard Evolution MK-361C and FreeBSD

Wed Feb 11 05:04:28 PST 2004

Hi. I like to play piano sometimes and all I need is a combination of 
keyboard->softsynth->speakers. I have a midi keyboard you see in subject 
of this email. It has a midi controller implemented to it, but this, I 
think, don't matter. It can be connected via game port or USB. On a distro 
CD I have drivers for Windows and Mac OS X. I also had no problems using 
it with ALSA drivers on Linux. By the way, is there something like ALSA 
for FBSD? Since I started working on FBSD I just can't think about else 
operating systems. And all my troubles with it were ALL successfuly solved 
by mailing lists! Thank you very much for it.

Well, please, describe the way of configuration for I could get my 
keyboard working.

Here goes the data:

1) FreeBSD-RELEASE 4.9
2) When I connect the keyboard to USB I get:

uaudio0: audio descriptors make no sense, error=4
device_probe_and_attach: uaudio0 attach returned 6
ugen0: Evolution Electronics Ltd. MK-361C USB MIDI keyboard, rev 
1.00/2.52, addr 2

3) dmesg (you can get info about my soundcards. Maybe some kernel changes 
needed):

I use the Crystal sound card usually.

I hope that's enough.

Best regards, Yuri.
