I'm now using Ubuntu Studio 13.04, I haven't tried the device out yet on that version. If I recall, I didn't need to use any specific driver, I think it used the ALSA USB audio & midi drivers automagically. You have to do a little bit of config in Ardour, to make sure you use the correct protocol. I don't think it works in Ardour2 or MixBus, though, just Ardour3. I'm not in my studio right now but can check it out later today. I haven't useed my Zoom R8 for a while, actually -- Brett W.

None at all, beyond making sure you configure it correctly for the device (Mackie). Otherwise, it's all done through ALSA. I don't remember to what extent it might have worked in A2 as a surface controller, I didn't test it much, it definitely worked in A3 as a surface controller. -- Brett W.

Yeah, as an audio controller, if I recall, it worked out of the box as a USB device. I haven't played with it in a while and only used the surface controller stuff. -- Brett W.

In reply to this post by Paul Davis
thank you Mr. McCoy! Hmm... with the alsa driver i get no audio/midi detection in JACK for my R16... Like Mr. Davis is saying, i don't think ardour has alot to do with this. I believe JACK is more of a headliner in this investigation :) It's not so much of a problem in my workflow since the tracks are easily exported out of the zoom into any DAW. But it could be convenient.
Hopefully, someone more skilled than me will push the research forward. Technically i can't do anything. But what i am doing ATM is writing an impossible-to-decline email to Zoom, to try to obtain the source of the OSX drivers (wish me luck), since it seems from other threads in the ether covering the subject, that it could help the WIP.
Have a delicious week! *Set On Mon, Oct 14, 2013 at 3:10 PM, Paul Davis <[hidden email]> wrote:

I'll take a look at it when I back in the studio tonight.

Thank you very much Mr. McCoy!!!! :)
lsusb lists my device. But unfortunately, aplay -l dose not detect it. I imagine it has something to with the fact that the r16 has 8 inputs and there for needs a non-standard driver. But this is just my n00by speculation. Let's hope my very kind and respectful jedi-mail will have effect on zoom corporation :D Thanks again for your precious help! Set H.

Clemens, do you think it would be useful to do some sort of sniffing on
the USB using an official driver inside a Virtual Machine for getting the controls? If you think so tell me and I'll give a try. [1] Best regards, Natanael.

(jack midi) ardour3] and audio capture [R16 -> alsa_in (alsa device with 8 input channels) -> ffado jack host]. It seems to work quite well when is running, but there is something not fine: - it takes a long time to the device to appears as an alsa device since it is detected from the kernel module - at least when it is not used (but I think it can occurs even when streaming) it seems to block ALSA for moments. Meanwhile alsa seems is unresponsive. Trying to start qjackctl (just open the frontend, not even starting jack) opened an unresponsive widget. As soon I disconnected the USB from the R16, the buttons and the control of the widget appeared. - I was with the above described chain (jack + R16 alsa_in) , and all the audio devices suddenly hanged. I saw in the R16 the sample rate at 96kHz (when it was -as JACK- at 48kHz) A dmesg shows this : > [ 268.877864] 3:1:1: cannot get freq at ep 0x3 > [ 272.489903] firewire_core 0000:07:00.0: created device fw1: GUID > 00130e0100060dce, S400 > [ 273.879240] 3:1:1: cannot set freq 44100 to ep 0x3 > [ 278.903419] 3:1:1: cannot get freq at ep 0x3 > [ 283.904662] 3:1:1: cannot set freq 44100 to ep 0x3 > [ 286.633916] 3:1:1: cannot get freq at ep 0x3 > [ 286.638154] 3:1:1: cannot set freq 44100 to ep 0x3 > [ 286.671291] 3:1:1: usb_set_interface failed (-71) > [ 286.675542] 3:1:1: usb_set_interface failed (-71) > [ 286.679792] 3:1:1: usb_set_interface failed (-71) > "" * 20 > [ 286.799821] 3:1:1: usb_set_interface failed (-71) > [ 286.830497] usb 1-1.4: USB disconnect, device number 3 > [ 304.980599] hda-intel: IRQ timing workaround is activated for card > #0.

I am so glad to see progress with the R16. I am available to test/debug (w/ ubuntu studio 13.10) and help out any way possible!
Kernel recompile works, but i am also experiencing freezeups. I do know that the R16 itself is capable of running as 8 independent 96k inputs in windows...perhaps it is a matter of limiting that function on the unit itself, or explicitly prohibiting it in alsa/jack config. I will test a bit and post tomorrow. Thank you all! ALSO: bit depth is locked at 24 in zoom firmware when running in usb audio interface mode! Clock can be 44.1/48/88.2 or 96 UPDATE: Confirmed that R16 acts as slave with DAW as master clock, so the sample rate on the R16 in "audio interface mode" is set by DAW software (in our case, from JACK with Ardour inheriting the settings from the engine). So looks like JACK config will be the solution. I will start testing variables in JACK config and post results if I find stable settings. UPDATE #2: Well, getting nowhere with JACK. But the built-in LADI-Session Handler for Ubuntu Studio did a great job with default settings... I have been recording 24-bit/96K test tracks on all 8 inputs at once. No crashes/freezups!! But to do this I had to completely disable playback... this is AMAZING progress!! |
