4Front Tech says they do not support anything like that. Do you know

Hi David:
I've sent this reply to the LAU list, hopefully one of the good
fellows there can provide a solution. I'm not as "up" on the MIDI
hardware scene as I used to be, sorry about that...

Yes, 4Front doesn't support pro-audio apps, I guess. ;))
Ok, just joking, but it's true: most pro-audio apps need libasound and
thus ALSA.

The Surface one (is it out now?) has a simple Midi-out so it
should be very well supported at least this way. The internal
USB-device should be possible to support as well, as all other USB
devices by M-Audio have good support and this should behave well, too.
The EZ-Bus should be supported as well, at least the ezbus chipset
reportedly works with the usb-audio driver (which includes Midi
support.)
In general one can say, that Midi support is the least of our problems
on Linux.
ciao

Yup, I have a keyboard controller with a bunch of knobs that I can use
with pd to change my pd parameters in realtime. If you just get a
supported midi interface (I use maudio quattro usb, and a creative
sblive), then you can use any trippy controller that supports midi output,
like Buchla's lightening sticks and so on. As long as it has standard midi
output you're good to go.
