Your keyboard most probably uses midi over usb, which is an open standard afaik. Linux
supports it perfectly well. Any standards compliant usb cable should do, including usb
extenders if you need.

I'm looking at the Casio WK 6600 keyboard and see that the old fashioned
MIDI connectors are replaced with a USB - B connector. Can anyone answer:
1. These connections are okay to connect my linux desktop computer to the
keyboard using a standard USB A-B cable?
Yes.
2. How long can the MIDI cable be? I suppose if
it's too short I could
always insert an extension cable?
I don't know if there's a length limit. I think if the keyboard's in the same
room as the computer, I don't think cables will be long enough to matter.
3. Could I use a real MIDI cable from the
computer and convert that to USB?
If the keyboard doesn't *have* a MIDI port, why bother? My USB<>MIDI adaptor is
powered via USB, so I think it might have to be plugged into the computer's USB, not
the keyboard's USB.
