umidi(4)

umidi4

Usb midi devices

Usage

umidi* at uhub? midi* at umidi?

Overview

The umidi driver supports USB MIDI devices that follow the USB MIDI standard. It also supports the following vendor specific devices:

Roland UM1
Yamaha UX256
Yamaha UX96
other Yamaha MIDI devices (hopefully)

The umidi driver is accessible through the midi(4) driver.

Caveats

Some USB MIDI devices provide a switch for selecting between a vendor specific mode and standard USB MIDI mode. Selecting standard USB MIDI mode may allow a device to attach as umidi rather than ugen(4). This is particularly true for Roland branded devices.
