It is perfect understandable if you are approaching this for the first time, with a burning desire to solve a specific musical dilemma with code. Treat it as an opportunity to learn. It is a process that can, at first, appear overly involved and, perhaps, a little bureaucratic, but there are good reasons for the approach that's taken. It has succeeded to keep track of enormous code bases securely, sometimes in the face of actively hostile actions by others. It is this very characteristic that means that many open source projects operate that way, and may give people an insight into quite what 'open source code visible to all really' means for us.

Also this robustness should resolve you of fears about 'doing some damage'. This well walked path of forking a repository, and making a Pull request protects you the community from yourself in an agreed fashion.

This project, Zynthian, is based predominately in the python language with various whirling bits of C & C++ doing the heavily mechanical tasks down in the bowls where life is cheap, and code turns precisely. The python is a much more starter friendly world where you define what you want to do, and this gets translated into the sort of coal one can feed into the boilers down below.

Personally I do soundscapes, church bells and cajon enhancement, and much of this built without any direct purchase from the zynthian site. The Hardware designs are up on the site if you want to make your own. You'd probably even get advise on how to do it on the forum if you ask ...

==== So why might you want to write some code for a zynthian? ====
