I always try to connect my music interfaces directly to USB ports on the computer (back panel if possible) rather than a hub, even a powered hub. Hubs divide the available amperage and you never know when you'll encounter a device that draws more amps than you have.

However - MIDI requires perhaps less from a USB port than any other device. Low current and extremely low bandwidth. So, MIDI-only devices should be fine on your hub.
