MIDI 2.0 support in ALSA

Open robertwu1 opened this issue 4 years ago • 2 comments

Hi, now that USB MIDI 2.0 is officially out (https://www.midi.org/specifications/midi-2-0-specifications), are there any updates for support in USB MIDI 2.0 in ALSA?

https://github.com/alsa-project/alsa-lib/issues/24 was closed in February of 2020 but it's been over a year and a half. There seems to be quite a bit of interest in the issue since it had been closed.

Thanks!

I'm also interested to know what is the status / roadmap with MIDI 2.

.... "as they discuss recent changes to the core MIDI 2.0 specifications and the MIDI 2.0 API on Apple, Google, ====>> Linux <<====, and Microsoft operating systems. "

Not sure what ALSA project progress has been so far... Perhaps the repo owners can comment.

The MIDI 2.0 support (for core UMP and USB MIDI 2.0) is finally merged to sound.git tree as a 6.5 kernel material. Found in for-next branch (or topic/midi20 branch).

The updates for alsa-lib and alsa-utils will follow.

Found it.It looks great ! P.S: Is the USB gadget API also supported for UMP ?
