progress on the Pandora PX5D editor on Linux

Haven't found much time to work on the project this summer, but I did identify most MIDI commands to control the Pandora, and I have a working Java command-line sample that can download presets, and modify them. Still, I did not implement any GUI, which will be the biggest part of the project. I didn't decide either if I continue the project in Java, or switch to C++, any GUI and MIDI capable library advice from linux audio developpers  are welcome.

Hi,
I'm a geek & bass player and I've just ordered a PX5D.
I'm thinking of doing some king of PX5D remote control.
Is it possible to change the active presets and modify them via USB? Is there any API available? Would you share your findings? :-)

it seems I can't find time to work on the project these days! Maybe I'll post everything I found as you suggest! Yes, you can send midi commands via USB, I have a small Java sample that allows to change presets, and I mapped most commands. The way the Pandora and the official Windows editor work is very simple. Everything you change on the Pandora sends a midi message, and it's the same message that's send from the editor the other way. I hope to spend more time on the project in 2012! :) I'll probably add a tab on this blog so people can find my posts on the subject more easily! Stay tuned! By the way, I went for Java because it's uber-easy to handle a midi device with the Java Audio API, if you know a good C/C++ midi library, I'd appreciate any advice.
