It's a project with the goal of creating an Open Synth Platform. It's a community-driven project. If you are here, probably you already know this ;-)

=The Zynthian Kit=
===Zynthian Box===
A Zynthian Box is a hardware device designed to run the Zynthian Software. Currently it's based in the Raspberry Pi computer platform.
This is a sketch with the main blocks of a Zynthian Box:

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:
* [https://github.com/zynthian/zynthian-hw Zynthian Hardware Repository]
* [https://github.com/zynthian/zynthian-case Zynthian Case Repository]
===Zynthian Kit===
A Zynthian Kit is a set of SPECIFIC electronic modules designed for building a Zynthian Box. This tutorial refers to the "canonical" zynthian kit, that is composed of:
* 4 x Controller Modules (rotary encoder + switch)
* 4 x Controller Modules (rotary encoder + switch)
* 1 x 2in1 Module (GPIO expander + MIDI IN)
* 1 x 2in1 Module (GPIO expander + MIDI IN)
* Main ribbon bus cable
* Dupont color-wire connectors

Of course, other arrangements are possible and some people is working in different ones:
* [https://discourse.zynthian.org/t/a-build-with-variations/324]
* [https://discourse.zynthian.org/t/another-wiring/333]
===Zynthian Case===
It's the enclosure used to put on all the parts. Again, this tutorial refers to the "cannonical" zynthian aluminum case:
[[File:Zynthian_aluminum_case_kit.jpg|600px]]
This case is designed to be used in conjunction with the next parts:
+ Raspberry Pi 2/3
+ Soundcard HifiBerry DAC+ (also pro & lite)
+ Display Adafruit PiTFT 2.8" touchscreen (or clonic version)
The case is available as a kit, with all the needed connectors, knobs, bolts & nuts.
If you intend to use a different soundcard or display, probably won't fit the case and you will have to modify it. Of course, you can build your own case like other people has done:
