[LAU] USB MIDI devices

I have the PCR-300 and all the controls work fine, it appears as 3 midi
ports in Qjackctl and Patchage and you can control what messages (CC, Notes,
etc) are sent through which midi port on the keyboard itself. All the
buttons can be tweaked a lot and by default most of the controls are
disabled in the keyboard (ie. pads) but there are a lot of control presets.

Worked perfectly out of the box for me.

Cheers,
Llewellyn
