[LAU] korg k-series controllers

Hi all, Along the lines of the axiom discussion, I was wondering if there was a way to control the korg k61 (k-series keyboard controller)? It is recognized and functions nicely but I unfortunately haven't found a way to actually control it, i.e., reassign knobs and sliders etc. and most importantly, change the transmit channel. I've tried installing the "editor" under wine but that doesn't seem to cooperate all that well as it doesn't recognize the k61 at all. I'd like to find a pure linux solution as wine is a good crutch but isn't an end solution, I fear. If anyone has experience with this particular controller, I'd be grateful. thanks David PS I hate to keep spamming this list with question after question, but I feel I'm almost there... almost ... and the closer I get, the more I am ready to get back to writing music.
