===Where can i buy a Zynthian Kit?===
 +
Currently you can buy the official Zynthian kits in the [http://shop.zynthian.org Zynthian Shop].

=== I just wrote my 16/32/64 GB SD card with a Zynthian image, but from Zynthian's console i only see a part of SD's total space and i've no free space left in the partition. How can i make available all the space on my SD Card? ===
 +
 
 +
After writing the Zynthian image in the SD card, you have to "expand" the partition to fill all the available space.
 +
 
 +
Procedure:
 +
 
 +
+ login into Zynthian by SSH
 +
+ execute "df" command to see the size of your partition and the available space
 +
+ run "sudo raspi-config" and select the first option to expand your partition
 +
+ reboot Zynthian
 +
+ login again and execute "df" command to see size of your partition and the available space
 +
 
 +
You should see the difference ;-)
 +
 
 +
'''Important:''' If you don't expand your partition, you will have problems when updating zynthian software or library, as you will run out of space.
 +
 
 +
'''UPDATE: From 2016-12-23, the Gorgona SD image solve this problem. Now, in the first boot, the partition size will be auto-expanded.'''

=== Can i play a MIDI track with Zynthian as a multi instrument expander (different instruments on different channels)? If I have such a setup: how can I store it? ===
 +
 
 +
You can create such a setup by using the channel list and configuring different presets on each channel. This will work with the next Synth Engines:
 +
 
 +
+ ZynAddSubFX
 +
+ LinuxSampler
 +
+ FluidSynth
 +
 
 +
setBfree tries to emulate the original Hammond B3 configuration. It has a fixed setup of 2 manuals (upper and lower) and pedals, arranged in channels 1, 2 and 3.
 +
 
 +
While using MOD-UI, the channel list doesn't appears, but you can setup a MIDI splitter/router inside Carla and configure different plugins/effects in each channel or create more complex setups. No limits (well, CPU ;-).
 +
 
 +
Remember that currently you can only work with one engine at a time, but using MOD-UI you can load all the engines as plugins, so you create complex multi-engine setups.
 +
 
 +
=== I try to put some GIG files inside the '''zynthian-my-data/soundfonts''' folder, but Zynthian GUI don't show my files. What am i doing wrong? ===
 +
 
 +
The files dropped directly inside "gig" directory wont be shown. You must create some subfolder (category) inside the gig folder. The same is true for SFZs soundfonts.

 +
=== How do I edit entries in the wiki? ===
