Command Line User Guide

1 SSH/SFTP access:

login: root
password: raspberry

User pi doesn't exist any more and ... it's a good idea to change the password :wink:

2 Base Directory:

/zynthian

Almost all the zynthian stuff like synth engines, audio plugins, soundfonts, zynthian user interface, setup scripts and other specific software is in this directory.

3 UI configuration file

/zynthian/zynthian-ui/zynthian_gui_config.py

This file contains some configuration parameters for the Zynthian User Interface:

• Logging level
• Wiring layout
• Font & Color scheme
• etc.

4 Stopping/Starting Zynthian UI

You must use systemd-style commands to stop & start any system service, that includes the zynthian UI:

# systemctl stop zynthian
# systemctl start zynthian

If you want to run the zynthian UI in the console (i.e. inspect the logging/debug messages), you must stop the zynthian service and run the zynthian UI as a normal script using:

# systemctl stop zynthian
# /zynthian/zynthian-sys/sbin/zynthian.sh
