    USB power is usually just under 5V. I've had no problems modding an infrared LED sensor bar (Wii) to work off USB power.

    Mos def. My real question is if there is a way to add LED midi out to a controller that does not already have it?

    I didn't understand this bit, but yeah I have lit my case in the past working off the 5v rail on the psu- no different from the usb power. Just get the led's and work out the resistors needed, solder. Maybe get a powered usb hub to experiment on! Controlling what the led's do gets a little tricky for my beginner knowledge.
