Zynthian is an '''Open Synth Platform''': An Open Hardware device (currently based on Raspberry Pi) running ZynthianOS, a customized Linux distribution (currently Raspbian-based), specifically configured and adapted for audio synthesis & processing. ZynthianOS runs the physical UI (display + rotary encoders + switches), that allows you to create up to 16 sound layers (synthesis+processing audio chains) using a large collection of [[Zynthian_Supported_Synth_Engines|synthesis engines and audio-processing plugins]], most of them Free Software along with some commercial ones.

Building a ZynthianBox is not difficult and relatively inexpensive, varying from 100 to 300 €, depending on the chosen components. You can buy your kit in the [https://shop.zynthian.org/ Zynthian Shop], or just some parts, or build everything from scratch using the publicly available documentation. You’ll be able to go from a [[Beginners_Headless_Zynthian_Tutorial|totaly headless system]] to an integrated instrument in some old midi keyboard.
