i have used focusrite sapphires with good success, both the now
discontinued pro26 and the pro56. FFADO makes midi available as a
jackmidi port, so (as others have noted) you will need to run aj2midid
-e to bridge them to ALSA sequencer clients. i just added it as a
post-startup command in qjackctl and forgot about it.
can't comment on MIDI timing performance, i only ever used it for
controllers, but i don't see any reason to have doubts.
