Hello everybody,
I searched the forum and found a similar problem, maybe someone has a solution now?
I bought an AKAI LPD-8 USB Midi controller. It works fine with Windows 7 64 bit and LinuxSampler. But when I plug it into Windows XP I can't use it in LS because of a Midi Port connect error. It is shown in the list of possible Midi devices but if I select it, the connection fails. In other software (e.g. Reason) it works fine.
I thought it may be a problem with the "ä" in "USB-Audiogerät" ("USB audio device") so I changed all registry entries to "USB-Audiogeraet" except the entries in the device manager which I couldn't change at runtime. Is it possible LS has problems with device names including umlauts?
Some idea? This problem makes me crazy
Thanks to everyone!
Robert

Hi Robert,
I'm not a programmer so I can't comment on whether LinuxSampler has a problem with umlauts, but I can suggest a workaround for Windows XP.
1) Install a software virtual MIDI cable (if you're running LinuxSampler in 32-bit then use MIDI Yoke, if 64-bit then LoopBe1)
2) Install MIDI-OX (both MIDI-OX and MIDI Yoke are available from www.midiox.com)
3) Run LinuxSampler - connecting to the virtual MIDI Cable
4) Use MIDI-OX to connect the USB-Audiogerät to the virtual midi cable
Then you should be able to play....
Let us know how it goes,
