Beatnik Mixman music mixing toys [early 2000s]
Apparently there's a small community breathing extra life to the controller, and the software seems to be available at archive.org. There are a few pieces available on eBay too.

How to transform an old MIDI controller straight to USB MIDI without any converters?
But generally speaking MIDI and USB MIDI are based on fundamentally different communication protocols and always require a MCU to do the conversion. An Arduino Micro can do the job well and there are even Libraries with example code that does exactly this. See here: https://github.com/lathoub/Arduino-USBMIDI/blob/master/examples/MIDI_DIN2USB/MIDI_DIN2USB.ino

Arduino MIDI controller Help
hmm..yes you would have to code a little bit. But, cool learning experience? The examples are pretty good. This simple one: https://github.com/lathoub/Arduino-USBMIDI/blob/master/examples/Basic_IO/Basic_IO.ino shows part of the code that would replace the serial code in your original sketch. Note the library itself is handling the code that advertises the controller to Linux as a MIDI device. That's an important benefit.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing mixman-dm2 and Arduino-USBMIDI you can also consider the following projects:
