I have a Roland PCR-M80 and it works just fine via usb.  Have you tried to

use the USB connection instead of the hard midi one?

Just answering my own post to provide further information:
1) I have managed to use the keyboard OK with software on Windows XP

under VMWare.
2) Using aplaymidi, I have been able to send data out of the MIDI out on

the keyboard.
3) Using arecordmidi, nothing seems to be captured.
This suggests that the keyboard is working normally and that something

is amiss with ALSA receiving MIDI data.
