=Introduction=
This tutorial is intended for those who are building a Zynthian Box using one of the kits i offer here:
[https://discourse.zynthian.org/t/zynthian-kits/150/17 Zynthian Kits]
Anyway, it's quite detailed and can be used as a guide to build your Zynthian Box from scratch. Of course, you will have to be more creative if you want to do it in that way ;-)

And this is the electric scheme of a Zynthian Box, excluding soundcard and display:
In the project repositories you will find all the electric schemes, PCB specifications, Herber files, etc. to build your own zynthian box from scratch:

===Zynthian Software===
The Zynthian Software is Free Software
The Zynthian Software stack consist of:
* GNU Linux Operating System: Raspbian Jessie (Minibian is used in the last SD images)
* Jack Audio Daemon
* A collection of Synth Engines & LV2 Plugins
* Zynthian User Interface
