I could borrow a laptop today, went to the store, booted a pure:dyne live-CD ("miso") and tested the midi of the DGX-630, aaaand it works :) I just did a very basic test. By connecting to zynaddsubfx using qjackctl and hitting the keys it produced sound. So yeah, I decided to order that device and got a better deal than I would have by ordering from thomann. I guess adding the device to the alsa and the other usb-device site would be a sensible step to do now? Thanks for all your help!
