Virtualbox knows about that data, but it has no interface for you to
access it.

This is a plain MIDI device, and there is no other obvious mechanism to
access the device, so it is likely that the software uses MIDI for its
vendor-specific stuff.

Anyway, Virtualbox uses the Linux API to access the real USB controller,
so it should be possible to use usbmon:

I guess this is from some other device?
