2 Questions. 1) Is it USB MIDI Class Compliant? Will it Work with Linux? 2) Is it USB powered or do you have to plug in a brick?

The answer to your first question is yes, it is MIDI USB so it should run in Linux just fine. The answer to your second question is it is USB powered, but it can also be powered through a brick. The brick is seperate from the LaunchKey, though.

it is class compliant. I might be too late for you but others might wish this info.

Highly recommend you get a MIDI interface. M-Audio makes a good one, the 2 X 2. I've had it for years and I've always been very happy with it.

Almost certainly. It's a simple USB MIDI controller, with no drivers or anything like that. It plugs into your computer and will behave as a MIDI input device. Any MIDI-compliant software can receive its data.

If you mean 'Will this work as a midi controller?' Then the answer is yes. But you will need a USB A to B device cable

Ya, use with alesis, kaosscilator and yamaha djx...pretty much the same as midi to midi cables, auto detect under windows and linux. Midi data only...for command and control. Will NOT record audio. (That's not what they are for.)

No, there is not a good, smart or inexpensive way to convert USB "output" to MIDI. You should find a product that comes with a conventional MIDI out port such as Alesis Q49.

What? This is a MIDI/usb interface, there's not a MIDI port in a microphone...

The MIDI controller will work. The included software runs on Windows and Mac.

I bought this device and I am using it. I am quite happy with it. My main workstation has Linux OpenSUSE 11.4, but I also tried it on OpenSUSE 12.1, Fedora 15 and 16 and it works perfectly on all of them.Kyle is right. Sewell USB SoundBox 7.1 USB Sound Card has a C-Media chipset and Linux is able to communicate to it at the chipset level. There is no need for extra drivers or anything. For me in all Linux distros it worked right out of box.

It depends on what software you use it with. It's a MIDI controller only, so it produces no sound on its own. It connects to a computer or tablet, and then any software that supports MIDI input should work with it.

It's suppossed to work with VirtualDJ and via USB interface. IF yous tablet has USB connector and a software capable of capturing midi signals, it should do fine. If you don't know what any of this means, you probably shouldn't buy it with the tablet purpose.

It is a USB midi controller with built in sound.. Yes you can with the right software.. PS.. As a previous owner of the controller , I would not recommend buying this as it only works with certain software and the support is terrible. Choose a Numark controller which is the same price, better built and works with most software....

its a midi controller, it should work with with any program that accepts midi in or midi out

It needs to be plugged into a computer, hooked to either a DAW or plugin with MIDI support. It can't be used by itself.

According to the User Guide (pg E-28) it should be plug-compatible with OSX but you may need a midi program to record/program it. I have never tried.

I'm still trying to get mine to work. I have Windows 7 64 bit. I downloaded the driver and still no luck. I'm new to all this and I'm using a Roland HD3 electric drum set / Mbox with Pro Tools Express/ and Easydrummer. I have better luck using a regular midi cable.

I have not used this with OS X but I think there should be no problem with any software that handles midi input via USB.
