analog synths require tuning, just like violins, guitars, pianos etc. They are analog, yes they have electronics in them, but they still require a human to make the sound unique. It’s time they are recognised as a contemporary instrument – instead of “oh, you just did that on a synth, you must be cheating”

It would be nice if there were DisplayLink 3.0 drivers for Linux so that I can use my USB 3.0 docking station properly.

At the moment I can only get USB and Network connectivity out of it.

I am running Debian Jessie  – 3.9-1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.9.8-1 x86_64 GNU/Linux

The docking station I have is a Toshiba Dynadock U3

when I plug in the dynadock – this is what syslog says:

Jan 9 09:18:35 ranz-tosh kernel: [81942.004955] userif-3: sent link up event.<6>[81942.012137] usb 2-1: new high-speed USB device number 17 using xhci_hcd

Jan 9 09:18:35 ranz-tosh kernel: [81942.030372] usb 2-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=0, Product=1, SerialNumber=0

lsusb says:

Bus 004 Device 009: ID 17e9:4305 DisplayLink

if I plug the HDMI cable in – nothing shows up in Displays – and nothing shows up in syslog

Just wait for the awesomeness to appear!
