  Thank you very much, this is interesting,
I'll have a look into RtMidi
 and your program. Being that the little I know is C, is it much more
 difficult outputting notes using the alsa api?

  Since there is a driver for it, you should be
able to use it as an
 alsa midi device.  
       uhm, i'm not sure... the driver (snd_usb_caiaq) actually takes care of
 the soundcard built in the pedal, and on the way also makes the buttons
 create keyboard events, and the pedal EV_ABS

 Hi :)

 I'm not a Linux, neither a C/C++ coder, but the answer here is very 
 simple, if the MIDI events (I guess this is what you mean by keyboard 
 events) are recognized by Linux, then there seems to be a driver for 
 your equipment that's good enough for your needs :). So go on, write a 
 simple Linux MIDI tool in C/C++, make it open source and reach in And English also
isn't my language ;). Maybe you like to 'hand in' a link.

  the 
 link, maybe some Dino-Assembler-Beings for some microchips (like me) 
 will be able to understand how to program for Linux too, if there would 
 be some very simple examples, excepted of "Hello world" ;).

 Good luck,
