Well, I found this:
11111110 Active Sensing.
Use of this message is optional. When
initially sent, the receiver will expect
to receive another Active Sensing message
each 300ms (max), or it will be assume
that the connection has been terminated.
At termination, the receiver will turn off
all voices and return to normal (non-
active sensing) operation.
Maybe my Motif doesn't understand that, or maybe the USB driver
is passing along extra bytes that confuse the motif into thinking
it's some sort of note-on message. I will have to try acconect-ing
the Akai to the Motif through the regular MIDI cable and the Midiman
usb<->midi converter and see if the Motif behaves the same. At least
I know what the 0xfe is for now.
Just need to figure out why udev doesn't make a device node for the
2nd port (the one that actually does something.)
