Lets step back and look at this with Fresh eyes: This is the Roland GR-55 Guitar Synthesizer http://www.rolandus.com/products/productdetails.php?ProductId=1148 You based this driver patch on the BOSS JS-8 http://www.bossus.com/gear/productdetails.php?ProductId=1027 Instead of the GT-10; which seems more similar, but I do not know anything about the difference in drivers, nor do I know that you have a working driver for the GT-10, or that its based on the JS-8. BOSS GT-10 http://www.bossus.com/gear/productdetails.php?ProductId=941 As such, all I can do is go along and see if I can get this to work; so humor me, and lets see about basing this on the GT-10 and see how that works; from what I read; they might be based on the same chip set; I have contacted Roland, and they refuse to tell me what chip set they do use; I can open up my GR-55 to see what chip set its using; its new, and I hate to do this; but I did; below are my findings; but I still do not know what chip set the GT-10 or JS-8 use; but I'm sure someone knows; so maybe this is a better place to start.

The work you do is very important to the community and I thank you. -----Original Message----- From: Daniel Mack To: Jeffrey Scott Flesher Gmail Cc: alsa-devel@alsa-project.org Subject: Re: [alsa-devel] GR-55 Driver Date: Wed, 18 May 2011 19:39:53 +0200 On Wed, May 18, 2011 at 5:34 PM, Jeffrey Scott Flesher Gmail wrote: > Does this type of data (USBlyzer Report) help to write drivers? > http://vetshelpcenter.com/media/GR-55-USB-Anlyzer.html The problems you're still having are not related to the driver anymore. The low-level part works. You're just facing a configuration thing with the applications you're trying to use, but I don't see it at the moment. It's most probably something trivial - can anyone else on this list have a look at the comprehensive logs you've been posting? Thanks, Daniel
