[LAU] HW Synth editor in a virtual machine ?

Hi all, Do these softwares that comes with hardware synths to help editing sounds usually work inside a Virtual Box (or VmWare) virtual machine ? The idea is to run Virtual Box on Linux (Virtual Box with a version of Windows) for those times when editing sounds is required. Specifically, this would be for the KORG Microstation that I'm considering getting. The connection is made via USB so it should be easy I presume to let a USB connection reach Virtual Box. KORG also has some sort of (VST ?) plug-in although that might be more complicated to get working with Ardour/Wine. If not, let me know. or, would it run straight under wine w/o the need of a full VM ? I wonder. Anyone using such software ? Any comments appreciated, thanks.
