For those of us using Linux what are the best supported Midi Keyboards and Instruments? Is there a particular brand that supports Linux very well, I would like to know as well.

For example I've heard of Akai but I'm not sure of it.

Its really as if all USB connected MIDI-keyboards works in lmms.
We have a list : https://lmms.io/wiki/index.php?title=Us ... _keyboards
That can be used as a guide, but there are many more keyboards that works fine im sure.
The most important is how to connect through USB, and to do that in the right sequence:

If they are class compliant, they should work. Whether or not fancy buttons, knobs, etc work... That is the real question. I've demoed Alesis and Nektar keyboards and currently have a Nektar GX61 - I liked them all.
