Last time I checked, Novation, M-Audio, Roland etc. had no OSC > keyboards, just regular MIDI ones :) It would at least be a way to overcome the lack of LV2/LADSPA support by routing signals via jack into a LV2/LADSPA host. But for that you'd need a way to control plugin parameters (no, 7bit Midi isn't appropriate for that). > 2.

Whether Bitwig will later on implement Linux plugin suport _will_ most likely depend on their Linux market share. And _that_ depends on the feature completness of that port.

Why? I shure hope you get the functionallity equivalent to 300 Euros - and Bitwig doesn't change their mind and stop Linux support without later updates (BTW - the licence you buy is for all platforms?).
