I am looking into getting a BOSS RC-5 looping pedal for my guitar, and I am curious if anyone has any experience with using it with Linux?
It makes use of this BOSS Tone Studio to allow adding additional backing tracks, but it is only officially supported for Windows and macOS. I could not find many examples of people using it on Linux, but for the most part any discussion I could find was in the context of their amplifiers.
I wonder if it should be straightforward to run it through Wine? As far as I can tell, you only need to set it up as a storage medium and connect it to your machine, although you can’t just drag the files directly onto it.
It is not a deal breaker for me if I can’t get it working, but it would certainly be a benefit if I could.
From the tutorial video I saw (for Windows), that is how you would do it. But it seemed to me that it was not as simple as just dragging in the files, and that you had to use the software to write the files. Another reply here gave two solutions that had worked, so I am just about to order one now. I can update here with what I find when I just browse the file structure.
