The easier way of connecting your Zynthian is to use the Ethernet RJ45 connector with a CAT-5 cable to connect your unit to your local network (DHCP) or directly to your computer (Ethernet to Ethernet, aka link-local). Your Zynthian box uses the link-local name "zynthian.local" and its filesystem can be accessed with '''sftp''' and '''scp''' (If you are using Windows, use '''Winscp''' - free software needed to communicate using this Internet protocol).

You can also login with '''ssh''' to access the Linux console. see [[Command_Line_User_Guide]] (use '''PuTTY''' software for Windows). The username and default password are:

If the link-local address (zynthian.local) is not found, test that the link-local feature is enabled in your system. Sometimes it's disabled and link-local names are not recognized (windows). If you can't manage to get link-local names to work, you can use the Zynthian's IP address. The zynthian's IP address can be found int the UI's "Admin->Network Info" menu, and it's also printed on the zynthian's error screen. See: [[Finding your IP address]]

Some engines have a native GUI that can be accessed from your desktop/laptop computer. There are several methods for achieving this:

====X11 Server====
====X11 Server====
To use 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 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.
* 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.

You also could use VNC on any platform, although it's slighty complex:

Currently ''ZynAddSubFX'', ''Aeolus'', ''Pianoteq'' and ''Pure Data'' have support for displaying remotely their native GUIs, that is launched automatically when layer is created. Other GUI software can be launched, like ''qjackctl'' or a virtual MIDI keyboard for testing.

The TouchOSC protocol is supported if the option is enabled in the Zynthian admin menu. This accepts OSC on port 12101 using UDP datagrams and includes raw MIDI data interpretation on OSC path
