If the link-local address (zynthian.local) is not found, test that the link-local feature is enabled in your system. Sometimes is disabled and local names are not recognized. You can use the zynthian's IP address instead. See: [[Finding your IP address]]

== Opening Synth Engine Native GUIs on your Computer ==
== Viewing Zynthian UI and Synth Engine Native GUIs on your Computer ==
Some engines have a native GUI that can be accessed from your desktop/laptop computer. There are several methods for achieving this:
Some engines have a native GUI that can be accessed from your desktop/laptop computer. Zynthian provides a VNC viewer for a desktop that allows access to these native GUI. By default VNC is disabled and it is recommended to disable for performance (as it has a small overhead which is best saved for your audio). To enable VNC and access the desktop and engines' native GUI:
* Connect via web browser to webconf
* Navigate to INTERFACE->UI Options
* Assert Enable VNC Server option and press Save
* Reload webconf and navigate to INTERFACE->UI-Engines
* Enter the Zynthian password (default: raspberry)
Note: There is also an option to access the Zynthian main UI by navigating to INTERFACE-VNC UI. This is a mirror of the main UI and may be driven from VNC and/or the physical interface.
The VNC views may be accessed directly via the URLs:
* http://zynthian.local:6080/vnc.html (Main UI)
* http://zynthian.local:6081/vnc.html (Engines desktop)
or with a VNC client by connecting to ports:
* 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.
* 5900 (Main UI)
* 5901 (Engines desktop)software can be launched, like ''qjackctl'' or a virtual MIDI keyboard for testing.

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