totally a guess, but i'd bet that without the MIDI expander it does
not deliver MIDI data and does not appear as a MIDI device. i'm basing
this solely on their diagram and what little i know of how such things
are usually implemented and from their description of what the s/w
does. i saw no mention of it being part of any USB device class.
