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
* If you use Linux, you probably already have it, so you don't need to do anything special. Simply login into your zynthian using the ssh with the "-Y" option for forwarding the X session:
* Enter the Zynthian password (default: raspberry)
* 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.
* Login into your zynthian box and enter:
