Midi Express XT Parallel Driver

This version Adds reading capability to the driver. Yes! You will now be able to record performances from your keyboard etc. and route your performances to your other devices when performing too! ( using Sequitur )

The known bug is that the driver ( or something in the system, probably the driver? ) does not recieve notification that Sequitur has quit, The device never returns to its idle state, so any later time that you run sequitur, the device will not be detected.

To work around this problem, reboot inbetween uses of your sequencer, or never close your sequencer, your choice ;)

When using the BeOS internal synthesizer to perform midi coming in from the MOTU, the audio produces small clicks on note events. I have not investigated this much, but It sounds like I need to optimize my code a bit.

I have only tested this driver in a limited setup, so you may use it in ways I havnt to great or disasterous consequences. Let me know how it works.

This driver is a fusion of the original BSD Driver by John Galbraith and the ALSA adaptation by Michael T. Mayers.

This version does not support input from the XT. Much of the mechanism for input is there, but it is unintegrated, and untested. (I hope to complete input in the next week, but I cant make promises.)

This driver is potentially sympathetic to the motu timepiece AV and others, but I dont own any MOTU products besides the Midi Express XT, so I am personally unable to check. Please Let me know if you have any success with other devices, or no success at all!

To install the device, unzip the archive to your desired location, navigate to this directory using Terminal, and then run the "install" script included. This script installs the driver into the usual places, and then promts devfs to rescan for "mtpav" the name of this device.

After successful install you should find 8 character devices published in /dev/midi/mtpav/.

Cheers!
