Works well but I couldn't figure out how to connect a midi Piano (via USB). I'm using a roland um-one mk2.

As a driver is needed on windows, I tried to install it (found on roland website) via "configure/Other/Launch .exe" (as I'm using french version it might not be exact) but it didn't work...

ps: the keyboard is well connected and works well on https://latouchemusicale.com/fr/test-web-midi-clavier/

I don't know if Wine is able to manage USB

Well it should as you can play with a usb controller, but can it manage midi? I don't know... And I certainly don't know how :P Candidly I would think: as both linux and windows can do it, wine can, but I realise writing it "only if someone competent has meet this need (or if the need is present enough for devellopers to program it".

This is not a game. I suggest to change its classification

The official website is synthesiagame.com, and the first sentence on the about page begins with "Synthesia is a game". At the very least, it's a very "gamified" way of learning/playing piano.
