If it shows up as an ALSA MIDI device once it's plugged in (as it should 
do, if it's truly a class-compliant USB MIDI device), then it should 
work fine with Wine -- it'll appear as a MIDI device within Wine. I've 
had great success using the Windows editor app for my Korg nanoKONTROL 
(which is also a class-compliant USB MIDI device) under Wine.
