"class 255" identifies a vendor-specific device.  However, Roland
devices use the standard USB MIDI protocol (after all, Roland wrote the
USB MIDI standard), they just lack the class-specific descriptors.

This device has two output ports and three input ports, using the
endpoints in altsetting 0 of interface 0.
