I need a Driver for the Roland GR-55 Guitar Synthesizer, not sure how to get started, so I thought this would be a good place to ask.
The GR-55 has MIDI and AUDIO
KSNAME_Wo11="WaveOut1-1" WDM.Wo11.szPname="OUT (GR-55)"
KSNAME_Wi11="WaveIn1-1" WDM.Wi11.szPname="IN (GR-55)"
KSNAME_Md11="Midi1-1" WDM.Md11.szPname="GR-55"
My thinking is that there may be a driver that is similar, or someone could already be working on a driver, if so, I would like to find out if I could work on that project or if I could start a new project here.
I did contact Roland about getting help in the way of Documentation; but was told not to count on it since most of this documentation is proprietary; so I might end up having to snoop the information to reverse engineer it.
I have been a programmer for over 30 years, and have written Unix drivers and interfaces back in the 80's; things have changed since then and Linux is Unix like, but ALSA seems a lot easier than what we did back in those days. I can get up to speed with just a point in the right direction. Things like do I do this as a driver or a module? Are just a few questions that I need answers to, just to get started.
Can you recommend a driver that is close enough to use as a template to start a new driver from?
Thanks.
