If you can switch to standard MIDI connection you should be okay. Granted, the MIDI interface you choose will most likely be connected to the Pismo via USB, but their drivers tend to be more ubiquitous than a proprietary USB-direct connection demands-the issue with them is OS version, not CPU version. Scrounge up a used Edirol or M-Audio (or Yamaha) 1x1 interface on eBay, shouldn't be too much.
