Well if I understand you right, every single one, I mean, because that's what a MIDI interface is supposed to do ; Here I have this setup :
- Novation X-Station USB audio
- Korg trinity rack (plugged to the XStation via MIDI cable out=>in)
- Mandriva GNU/Linux (regular kernel) running qtractor
This already works as is. But it gets better: inside the XStation, there is a built-in synth, a "Novation KStation" and it is controlled by qtractor as well.

Yes, you can indeed. – yPhil – 2015-05-06T00:56:48.127
What I'm looking for is a MIDI interface on which I could plug a MIDI expander on one side (MIDI DIN) and a laptop on the other side (USB, ...) and that works fine with Linux. So I can use, say, qtractor with an external synth which has only DIN connectors. – dugres – 2011-06-11T07:58:16.203
