I'am affraid it is so.
But in the previous post I've sayed to look at the qjack control tab marked as 
MIDI, instead you should look also at the tab marked ALSA and see after 
clicking on 'refresh' button if it shows some MIDI device appart from 'Midi 
Through'. If the answer is yes probably it is the Oxygen device, even if it is 
namend with an other name. In that case probably it will be recognaized and 
work with usual MIDI software such as Rosegarden and soft synths like 
ZynAddSubFX.

If it is not recognized in any way on qjack control, then the only hope
is to wait for newer versions of ALSA that will incorporate generic
'class-compliant' driver support for the Oxygen 8 v.2. Since it is a
popular brand there is hope that this could happen.

That is the usual way that goes with Linux. The most recent hardware
--and the new version 2 of that particular keyboard it is a rather new--
have to wait some time untill is fully supported.

Of course there is a workaround to make the keyboard work in the
meanwhile: since it has a standard MIDI out port you could use a generic
USB MIDI interface of that sort that is usually found on eBay and the
like and to interface the Oxygen with the computer through that.
