Wifi credentials can be set via the web config tool: System - Wifi - Add Network. Wifi must be enabled in the Zynthian Gui: press the Back button until you are in the Admin menu. Then select 'Start WIFI'.

Some engines have a native GUI that can be accessed from your desktop/laptop computer. There are several methods for achieving this:
===X11 Server===
For using this method, you need an X11 Server running on your desktop/laptop computer.
* If you use Linux, probably you already have it, so you don't need to do nothing special. Simply login into your zynthian using the ssh with the "-Y" option for forwarding the X session:
$ ssh -Y root@zynthian.local
$ ssh -Y root@zynthian.local
* If you are a "Mac" user, you should install and enable the '''XQuartz''' package. After that, login into your zynthian with the same command.
* If you are a "Windows" user, then you should install the '''XMing''' package and login into your zynthian using Putty with the "X11 forwarding" option enabled.

===VNC===
You also could use VNC on any platform, although it's slighty complex:
* Login into your zynthian box and enter:
# apt-get install vnc4server blackbox
# pico ~/.vncrc
* enter this line to set the desktop size:
$geometry = “2048x1600”;
* start the vnc server:
# vnc4server
* Connect to the vnc server using (e.g.) windows TightVNC viewer.
===Supported Engines with Native GUI===
Currently ''ZynAddSubFX'', ''Aeolus'' and ''Pure Data'' have support for native GUI, that is launched automatically when layer is created. Other GUI software can be launched, like ''qjackctl'' or a virtual MIDI keyboard for testing. Support for Soundfont GUI using ''Polyphone'' will be added in the future ;-)
'''IMPORTANT:''' Try to use an ethernet-to-ethernet connection as it will reduce latency and improve usability.
