I am using now two MIDI interfaces with Linux: a Roland/Edirol UM-2 and a
Midiman Midisport 2x2.

There is an usb MIDI device class specification:
http://www.usb.org/developers/data/devclass/midi10.pdf
You can find an OSS driver for Linux here:
http://member.nifty.ne.jp/Breeze/softwares/unix/usbmidi-e.html
It has been merged recently with current kernel development tree (2.5.X)
There is also a new ALSA driver and an user space daemon here:
http://www.informatik.uni-halle.de/~ladischc/usbmidid.html
All of them are very new programs and perhaps not tested with your MIDI
devices. HTH.
