OS X users: if you choose to pay nothing for a ready-to-run version, you will get a demo version that is missing the ability to save AudioUnit plugin settings.

Linux users: if you choose to pay nothing for a ready-to-run version, you will get the normal version but should not expect support from our IRC channels or mailing list.
