> I checked the link you provided, and the only Akai model that is listed is the MPD16. It does not identify the MPD16's chipset, and after doing some searching for this and the EIE, I can't find any information about the chipsets for either device... I did some Googling, also without much luck. From the results it appears the interface isn't supported under Linux, unfortunately. -- Pete Orrall pete@cs1x.com www.peteorrall.com "If there isn't a way, I'll make one."
