This is a 4 octave (49 velocity sensitive keys) midi controller keyboard with integrated USB interface and a single MIDI-out port.

I have tested this under Mandriva 2007 (kernel 2.6.17, alsa 1.0.12) and it works fine, it's completely plug-n-play, no manual configuration necessary.

Here is the /proc/asound/cards and amidi -l output (see card 1):

This keyboard has a 'Advanced Driver' switch on the side to enable/disable FPT (Fast Processing Technology), some Roland/Edirol feature they claim is used to make effective use of the USB bandwith according to the amount of MIDI data transmitted.

I have tested it both with FPT on or off and it seems to work fine either way under Linux.
