I use a Roland XV-2020 attached to my computer via a midi cable and M2496 audio/midi card without any problems. The standard midi stuff seems to work just fine in linux. However, you bring up an important issue about the windows/mac software that is used to change parameters on this type of unit. I've tried using the Roland XV-Editor software with Wine but it will not work correctly so am stuck using my work's XP laptop to run this program when needed. It's not a huge deal for me since I just play and don't tweak this sort of stuff, but I'm sure it would be annoying to many others.
