USB Midi adapters for Linux?

[Michael D. Crawford]

Are there any USB Midi adapters that are supported by Linux?

Do USB midi adapters all use proprietary USB protocols or is there some kind of standard for doing midi via USB?

I have a Fatar controller that I'd like to try out with Linux audio software. (A midi controller generates midi signals, but does not make sound on its own. You need a midi sound module or midi software on a computer to make the sound. I bought the Fatar because its keys have such a nice feel when I play.)

I asked a musician friend to recommend an adapter that would work with Mac OS and he suggested either the midiman midisport or MOTU Fastlane. Does anyone know about these specifically?

Midisport:

Thanks for your help.
