Using X-edit in a virtual machine

[tjl]

Has anyone had success using usb passthrough for a Digitech device in
a windows virtual machine? Using virtual machine manager in Ubuntu, I
can attach the device, but windows doesn't see it and the qemu log
shows:

husb: open device 3.7
husb: config #1 need -1
USBDEVFS_DISCONNECT: Invalid argument


forever.

Being able to run X-edit in a VM seems like an efficient way to do
gdigi development.

Thanks,

Tim

I tried it once, but didn't success.

Why do you think so?

In my opinion, getting a working MIDI (over USB) sniffer would help
much more with efficent gdigi development.
Working MIDI sniffer could be achieved either by:
-a custom driver, replacing DigiTech's one
-attaching (at runtime or a man-in-the-middle wrapper dll could do the
trick) to MidiOutLongMsg function call from WINMM.dll

Only in the sense of requiring less physical hardware ;-)
