Zynthian is an '''Open Synth Platform''': An Open Hardware device based on Raspberry Pi running ZynthianOS, a customized Raspbian-based Linux distribution, 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 + audio processing 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.
