Alison Wilder<p>I'm pretty shocked and astounded that Melodyne works perfectly on Linux via yabridge.

Continued thread

OK here we go, #Benben v0.7.0-rc2 is up, with a Linux x86-64 AppImage available for download from the source repository!

https://chiselapp.com/user/MistressRemilia/repository/benben/wiki?name=Releases

RC2 fixes a few issues with command line arguments, and also fixes the AppImage so that libout123 works.

Note that Benben is currently in a code freeze, which means that no new features will be added until the final v0.7.0 is released. Just bug fixes for now.
