Free yamaha keyboards software for linux

Optimus OLED Keyboard Linux Driver project is intended to provide a generic linux driver for OLED-based hardware made by Art. Lebedev Studio.
The current goal is to support the Optimus Mini Three keyboard.
Main features:
- Uses libusb to communicate with device (no specific kernel driver needed)
- As the kernel-provided module for pl2303 didnt work in our case, we recoded the driver with libusb
- Uses libpng to read PNG images, and display them
- Detects when a button is pressed
- Implements OLED_PROTOCOL_SET_IMAGE, OLED_PROTOCOL_POWER_ON, OLED_PROTOCOL_POWER_OFF, OLED_PROTOCOL_SHOW_OLED, OLED_PROTOCOL_GET_IDCODE, OLED_PROTOCOL_SET_IDCODE, OLED_PROTOCOL_SET_BRIGHTNESS.
- Support for more than one OLED Mini Three connected to the same computer
- All USB code is in a static library
Enhancements:
- One of the most annoying bugs (auto-switch-off of the key display after five seconds) has been fixed.
- Functions similar to the ones provided by the original Win32 library for image color settings are also available, allowing you to set color temperature and gamma.
- Theres better support for input, using threads as libusb only provides a blocking way to read data (or some bytes are missed).

Gnome Multimedia Keys is an Amarok script that will allow the use of keyboard multimedia keys in Gnome 2.18 and above (eg. ubuntu feisty) to control playback. This includes most multimedia buttons found on many laptops. Support for this was broken due to changes in the handling of keyboard shortcuts by gnome 2.18.
Currently supported operations are:
- Play/Pause
- Pause
- Stop
- Next Track
- Previous Track
Simply run the script, no configuration of the script itself is required. The desired keyboard shortcuts can be configured by selecting "System-->Prefrences-->Keyboard Shortcuts" from the Gnome panel.

Midirecord is a simple command-line application to record a MIDI file with your MIDI keyboard.

Midirecord project also features automatic recording to a MIDI file when you play electric piano, and thus it may be used as a "recording daemon".

vkeyd is a Linux daemon, forked from ikeyd, used to change volumes from keyboard hotkeys outside of X, or if the keyboard has been captured, as happens with SDL applications.

KeysID project is a highly configurable linux daemon which lets you intercept keyboard key press and make them execute the programs you want.
Its thought for laptop and multimedia keyboards, which usually have more keys than standard keyboards, but it works with all the keys.
Installation:
In order to compile and install from the source package you can simply type:
make
make install
< debian >
It will put programs in /usr/sbin and the init script in /etc/init.d/ .
< /debian >
If you are new to keysid PLEASE READ THE NEXT SECTION BEFORE RUNNING THE PROGRAM.
Configuration:
Now that `keysid is installed you must run its configuration program (keyscfg) before running the daemon. This is the usage:
keyscfg [-f config_file] [-d device]
`-n is required, it stands for the number of keys you want to intercept
`-f is the path to the output configuration file, default is
`/etc/keysid/keysid.conf
`-d is the device you want to read from. The default is
`/dev/input/event0, you shouldnt use this option unless you know what you are doing.
Run `keyscfg, _dont press any key_ until its beginning message, then you will asked for pressing as much keys as you requested (`-n option). If these steps go right youll find the configuration file in /etc/keysid/keysid.conf (unless you gave the `-f option).
Well, now you have to edit the configuration file. The first line is the device the program reads from, you shouldnt edit this line since the configuration file depends on the input device.
The other lines (no `# comments, no white lines) are in the form:
key user command
The key field shouldnt be edited. The user field stands for the user who executes the command (the next field). The command is read to the end of the line, it may contains spaces. The command will be executed as `su - user -c "command" , therefore.. be careful about escaping!
e.g.:
0xcc crowolo mpg123 ~/songs/*.mp3
0xcc -> the key
crowolo -> the user
mpg123 ~/songs/*.mp3 -> the command
This line will be executed as `su - crowolo -c "mpg123 ~/songs/*.mp3" .
Usage:
Now you can start the daemon (keysid). You can also specify the configuration file the daemon will read by passing it as command-line argument.
e.g.:
keysid /root/tmpkeysid.conf
< debian >
The source package provides the init script which can be used to run the daemon at boot time. If you want to run it by init script and make the daemon read from a non-default file, you must write its name in /etc/keysid/args .
< /debian >
e.g.:
$ cat /etc/keysid/args
/root/tmpkeysid.conf
$
Known bugs:
You shouldnt press any key for a couple of milliseconds after you start both the daemon and the configurator program, otherwise the program couldnt get your input in the right way.
Enhancements:
- package improvments
- minor fixes
- debian package available

KeyFrog is a tool for generating keyboard usage statistics. User obtains many informations about his activity: how intensive was his keyboard usage, how was it distributed in time, etc.

This project can be very useful to developers. The project is under fast development, first releases comming soon.

ESE Key Daemon is a multimedia keyboard driver for Linux. No kernel patch is needed.
ESE Key Daemon is a userspace program which pools /dev/input/event interfaces for incoming keyboard key presses.
Enhancements:
- A bug in the configuration file handling routines was fixed.
