Looking at the specs, looks like the APC 20 and APC 40 are class compliant USB MIDI devices... and all such devices work with Linux.
From the AkaiPro site:
Communication:
USB-MIDI with proprietary hardware/software handshake
I'm a little iffy on buying something like that without testing.. so I've check the 2nd hand market around here and we'll see how we go
The Novation does not look to be class compliant (links to drivers on the page, etc.)... but I'm pretty sure I've seen a linux driver for it in staging drivers. I can't speak to the quality of that driver, though.
