Zynthian is a compact, self-contained, music-making computer that can be used as a keyboard expander, audio effects unit, MIDI processor / router and groovebox / micro-DAW.

Zynthian is an open hardware device based on Raspberry Pi and running zynthianOS, a customized linux distribution, specifically configured and adapted for audio synthesis & processing. ZynthianOS runs the physical UI (touch display + rotary encoders + buttons), allowing you to create multiple sound chains (synthesis + audio processing chains) using a large collection of synth engines and processing plugins, most of them Free Software along with some commercial ones.

Zynthian provides a very flexible foundation to create and explore music the way you want to. Some use cases:

  • For keyboardists, plug in your favorite midi controller/keyboard, create some synth chains and jam out. You can choose over 60 synth engines available, add effects (>1000 available), splits, layers, transpose, etc.
  • For guitar players and vocalists, plug in your guitar or mic and use it as a multi-FX unit. Over 1000 plugins available. SooperLooper enables live looping and overdubbing
  • For music producers, use it as a groove box for producing your own music. Create a set of synth chains and all the patterns you need with the step sequencer You can live-record your patterns using a midi keyboard or enter the notes step by step. There are swing, humanization and play chance options to make your patterns more dynamic and fresh.
  • For music producers, plug in your hardware midi sequencer(s) to control your synth chains, assign parameters to your device and tweak to your heart's content.
  • For sound explorers, create your own patches layering one or more synth engines and save them for later using snapshots
  • For performers, record the multitrack audio and midi of your performances with immediate access to files via the web interface
  • For performers and students, compose your totally un-cheesy backing tracks using the built-in step sequencer and arranger functions to support your live performance. Launch the sequences with your favorite midi controller.
  • Your favorite use-case ;-)

Building a zynthian box is not difficult and relatively inexpensive, varying from 100 to 500 €, depending on the chosen components. You can:
