Hi,
Any recommendations on a USB to MIDI interface that plays nice with JACK?
I have the MIDI on my AF12, but that's way overkill for most of the MIDI
I/O I need to do.

I have a Roland UM-One stuck in my cable bag. USB on one end, "Y" to a
MIDI DIN in and out, lump in the middle the size of a matchbox. I
usually have it plugged into a DSI Mopho and I have never had trouble
with it.

Any that plays nice with Linux. Which means any that is class compliant.
Which means any that works without a separate driver with Windows/OS X.
However, all the cheap adapters that look like this:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ACGMOA6
have a buggy firmware and should be avoided.

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.

i wouldn't assume this ;) class compliant does not mean it works without
driver on windows.

Do you have any example of a class-compliant USB MIDI device that
does not work with the built-in Windows (or OS X, or Linux) driver?

I know that windows can work with class compliant devices without
driver, but there are some reasons (eg naming) why you dont want this.
For myself i dont use windows, so i cant tell you a device, but i red
some posts of people having problems, simply google "windows class
compliant problem" and you will find something (i found at least 2
german articles).
Maybe i was wrong, i cannot verify this because i dont use windows. I
dont wanted to start a discussion on this, just wanted to warn there
could be problems with windows (which wasnt the topic here anyway...).
And there should be a reason why my A&H Ice 16, which is class compliant
and works with linux, has drivers for windows.

RE the Links: you can simply find them on your own and again: maybe
everything i red is wrong, maybe not. i dont use windows, and i have no
experiences. i simply wanted to warn that there might be some issues.
when you all tell me thats wrong, i am fine with it ;)

My "ID 170b:0011 Swissonic MIDI-USB 1x1" is one of those and it works
without issues. Jitter measurements are very good. Not good enough for
my taste, but that good, that nobody believes that I'm able to notice
the jitter. Bought in 2006 for less than 20,-€. Some computer
interfaces don't work with my self-build MIDI through box, most likely
I could readjust this by a pot inside the MIDI through box, but I don't
care, since they all work with my synth. However, I prefer my PCI and
PCIe interfaces, because they cause less MIDI jitter.

Since I prefer PCI and PCIe in regards to MIDI jitter, IIRC I only used
it to dump MIDI banks. I can't remember any issues. Maybe I'm mistaken.
There's no time to do many tests, but I at least could send the
internal bank of my DX7 and try to receive it with simplesysexxer ...
There's a pitfall, a switch to select between USB and MIDI THRU. The
interface doesn't work if USB is selected, but it works when MIDI THRU
is selected, with simplesysexxer to receive a DX7 sound bank, as well
as with qtractor to receive note on and off events.
Ok, now the other way around. Hm, I could select USB or MIDI THRU, the
interfaces LED shows output, but the DX7 doesn't receive note on and
off events, so I didn't try to send sysex. Perhaps I'm mistaken, the
USB interface seems to be the one without enough power for my MIDI thru
box, but perhaps also for some synth, too, or its simply broken. At the
moment sending doesn't work at all.

I have a black one like the one in the picture without any switch, it
just says on the back: "imported by goobay / Model: 95432". USB ID

And it's also buggy (sysex transfer is unreliable). But then again it
cost me only about 7 Euro.
