2.1.2.2.1 USB Keyboards
Evolution manufactures several models that are known to conform to the standard USB MIDI specification, which are therefore compatible with Linux. Chris Cannam, one of the core Rosegarden developers, uses an Evolution-2 keyboard, and reports that it works using the
snd-usb-audio module, which should probably be loaded automatically by hotplug. He imagines that most other manufacturers' wares are similar.
2.1.2.2.2 USB MIDI Interfaces
The Edriol UM-2 and mAudio MidiSport 2x2 are known to work under Linux. I have no experience with such things myself, I'm afraid, so I can only provide second-hand information.
Pedro Lopez-Cabanillas, a contributing Rosegarden developer, reports that getting the Edriol UM-2 working is as simple as plugging in the USB cable and loading the
snd-usb-audio module, which should probably be loaded automatically by hotplug.
