Ubuntu Studio is an operating system, not an application.
I'm assuming that you want a patch editor for the DX9? Those are done through
MIDI sysex messages, not drivers (at least not device drivers). The patch
editor software sends the sysex messages through a standard MIDI cable to the
synth, and accepts sysex messages in return.
So, obviously you'll need a MIDI card for your computer, one that works under
Linux. There are lots out there (most cheap USB MIDI devices SHOULD work).
However, patch editor software is one of the areas of Linux audio that is
sorely lacking. I don't know of a single Linux app that is a universal patch
librarian, in the manner of Unisyn or Midi Quest. I think that by the time the
Linux community discovered music, MIDI was already on its way out...
The closest I could find is JSynthLib, last beta version released in 2005:

Mark13 has a DX7 editor. I don't know how well that will work for the
DX9:http://www.mark13.org/dx7
Or, if you already have a patch editor for Windows, you can try running it in
Wine. I've done that with the patch editor for my Nord MicroModular (with
limited success).
p.s. It's bad etiquette to include the entire email digest in your reply...
just sayin'.
