Hi Florin,
I have the UM-880. In the back of the owner's manual is a detailed MIDI
implementation chart for remote control. I've only ever used the
buttons on the front myself.
The nice thing about these boxes is that you can chain up to four of
them together if you ever get more MIDI devices, although I'm not sure
if and how it affects performance. They're also rack-mountable (not
sure about the UM-550).
Anyway, I haven't switched my audio stuff over to Linux yet, but will
try sometime in the next couple months. Keep in touch if you do end up
getting either the UM-550 or UM-880.
Cheers,
Chris

Only the UM-550 can do routing in hardware. (Usually, only 8x8
interfaces can do routing.)
I don't know if it's possible to control the UM-550 by software (try
asking Edirol), but it has a sixth port (labeled "Control" in the
Windows driver), so it may be possible to do something with SysEx's.
That one looks interesting. Kind of on the expensive side ($200) but
appears to be a good piece of hardware.
I understand the concept of routing in hardware, and i see the
advantages, but wouldn't that prevent aconnect/kacconect to do their
normal job?
I mean, can i override with acconect whatever settings are made in
hardware? (i assume UM-550 can be configured via its buttons or
something)
In general, is there any way to control this interface in software under
Linux?
(hope i'm making sense)
