Would Arturia's MIDI Control Center run under WINE?

No idea. I don't use WINE, as I have had nothing but horrible experiences with it in the past.

But in any case, I do not want to use either a VM or WINE on a regular basis; I want to find out what MIDI messages the Control Center app sends, so I can perform its functions under Linux.

I was using a regular Windows machine using USBPcap and Wireshark to do a similar job. I put down some notes on how to capture the raw data in this document:

Wireshark has a filter for sysex messages which is very useful in analyzing the captured data.

Apart from that the sysex specification (also reverse engineered ) for the Arturia Beatstep might be of interest to you:
