The THR10 is recognized by Linux both as USB device and as an external soundcard. There is no version of the THR Editor for Linux, but I will show you in this post how to install the Windows version using the Wine emulator. The examples in this post were made with a Kubuntu 18.10 64 bits distribution.
0) Plug your THR using the USB cable.
1) Install Wine using your package software (or use the command: sudo apt install wine)
2) Download the THR Editor V1.1.0 for Windows on https://usa.yamaha.com/support/updates/57648_en.html
3) Extract the files from the archive with the command:
Code: Select all
$ unzip THR_Editor_V110_Win.zip

5) Click on the THR Editor icon on your Desktop. Some seconds later the software should run perfectly !
6) Go into "Edit > Preferences...", and in DATA IN and DATA OUT fields, choose THR10 - THR10 MIDI 1 and validate.
7) Play guitar !

I am using the THR Editor under Linux for two years, without any problem. I can help you if you encounter some difficulties.
