USB composite midi keyboard not detected despite port remaping

Post by Cillvann »

Hi all,

I need to access to a audio midi keyboard (M-audio Code49) connected via USB, in wine. The program .exe that I use is preset editor that send or retrieve presets stored in the keyboard controler.
Available here : https://m-audio.com/support/download/so ... dows-1.0.6

I've tried to add string key in using

Code: Select all

regedit
command, and mapping manually the ports, as advised in the wine user guide,
https://wiki.winehq.org/Wine_User%27s_G ... llel_Ports

Here are the steps I followed so far ( currently run Wine 7, stable.)

First, I connect my controller, turn it on, and then use this simple script to list the usb currently connected and print the corresponding serial ID.

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
for sysdevpath in $(find /sys/bus/usb/devices/usb*/ -name dev); do
    (
        syspath="${sysdevpath%/dev}"
        devname="$(udevadm info -q name -p $syspath)"
        [[ "$devname" == "bus/"* ]] && exit
        eval "$(udevadm info -q property --export -p $syspath)"
        [[ -z "$ID_SERIAL" ]] && exit
        echo "/dev/$devname - $ID_SERIAL"
    )
done
the results are

Code: Select all

/dev/sdb - _USB_DISK_3.2_07001A60B1A20F76-0:0
/dev/sdb1 - _USB_DISK_3.2_07001A60B1A20F76-0:0
/dev/sda - _USB_DISK_3.2_07001AE54BA30234-0:0
/dev/input/event9 - M-Audio_Code_49_Ver00.10
/dev/input/event8 - M-Audio_Code_49_Ver00.10
/dev/input/mouse3 - M-Audio_Code_49_Ver00.10
/dev/snd/controlC1 - M-Audio_Code_49_Ver00.10
So I'm interested in the four last entries, which correspond to the the midi-usb controler.
Note : It is a composite usb device (one cable, but recognize four distinct devices).


I then list the dos device mapping for wine, using the command

Code: Select all

ls -l .wine/dosdevices

Code: Select all

SInce the midi keyboard controller does not seems to be there (I don't see any correspondance with the previous outputs), I then use

Code: Select all

regedit
command, and add four string entries in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Wine/Ports

NAME - Type - Data

COM1 - REG_SZ - /dev/input/event8
COM2 - REG_SZ - /dev/input/event9
COM3 - REG_SZ - /dev/input/mouse3
COM4 - REG_SZ - /dev/snd/controlC1


But without sucess. The preset editor.exe does not detect the midi controller.

Some additional informations:
- The midi keyboard works well with linux app.
- I installed a virtual piano midi keyboard .exe via wine, like this one : https://vmpk.sourceforge.io/
The application detects the midi keyboard, and I didn't even had to remap the USB using

Code: Select all

regedit
!
So, I suspect that the preset editor.exe do not use the same usb entry than a standard virtual piano applications.

I don't really know where to look now, any help or idea are welcome :)
