This works!

amidi --dump --port hw:1

90 42 17
80 42 00
90 3D 19
90 3F 0C

Thanks a lot!

Now, how should I configure ALSA in order for my softsynth
(ZynAddSubFx) to "see" this keyboard?

Yes, other MIDI USB keyboards (for example Akai LPK25) work fine;
"aseqdump" shows MIDI messages and the softsynth plays without issues.
