MIDI input for Korg MicroKey 37 (which only shows up as rawmidi)

I would like to use my USB MIDI keyboard, but it doesn't show up inside of `aconnect -i` nor any programs I try to use with it (milkytracker, sunvox).

There is also no `usb_midi` module to be found in the output of `lsmod`. However, it does show up inside of `amidi -l`. From what I've gathered, USB MIDI keyboards should normally both register as a rawmidi device (in amidi) and as an ALSA sequencer (in aconnect). But this is not the case here.

I think the way to get it to work in those programs is to have an ALSA sequencer device for it. But I have no idea how to do that.

Hi! I'm having the same problem. See this: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/44286

If that is your case, you could try downgrading your kernel to the last working version (3.19.1-1). Downgrading did the work for me.

Thank you very much, I'll try that later today when I have some more time on my hands.

It seems like I can just downgrade without having to entirely reinstall my NVidia drivers, which is nice.

I can't find the older kernel package on my system, do you still have the package? If so, could you give me it?
