How to run melodics on Linux using Wine

• Don't know what Melodics is? Watch this great introduction by Slynk
• Download Melodics
• I had audio glitches so I had to run the application like this:

export PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=5\
    && export WINEPREFIX="/home/alinz/.wine"\
    && wine "$USER/.wine/dosdevices/c:/Program Files/Melodics/Melodics.exe"

• The application will after the login if miss to set the following library override:
  • Open winecfg
  • Optional: Add an application override for Melodics.exe
  • Go to Libraries tab
  • Add a new override for msvcp140.dll
  • It should now show under Existing overrides `msvcp140 (native, builtin)

@wwwehr thanks for the script, this was very helpful in getting me to run Melodics with Bottles, as I documented here: https://gist.github.com/adrienbeau/1d0af5c53a1f952a07b41da02ed2d7c2

By the way, with Bottles there is no need to close the app when you log in, actually login seems to only work when Melodics is kept open.

I have played several lessons just fine, everything seems to work except for one issue: the Guided tab remains empty. Maybe one dependency is missing? There's nothing suspicious in the app logs or Wine messages. Looking at Melodics videos, the contents of that tab seem similar to the other tabs, I don't see what could be wrong. @wwwehr Do you have content in the Guided tab?

@adrienbeau I also have no content in the Guided tab, on a Bottle install.
