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. | 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.
