1 Introduction
This tutorial is intended for those who are building a Zynthian Box using one of the kits i offer here:
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 ;-)
2 Some definitions
2.1 Zynthian
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 ;-)
2.2 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:

2.3 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 * MOD-HOST + MOD-UI software, from ModDevices * A collection of standalone Synth Engines & LV2 Plugins * Zynthian User Interface
