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 synthesis engines and audio-processing plugins, most of them Free Software along with some commercial ones.

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

  • Using MOD UI plugins Zynthian becomes an in-depth multi-fx unit for guitar players with footswitch capability, SooperLooper enables live looping and overdubbing
  • For those who prefer keys, plug in your favourite midi controller keyboard, set your splits/layers and jam out with any of the circa 60 synth engines available
  • Plug in your hardware midi sequencer(s) to control up to 16 chains of audio with FX, assign parameters to your device and tweak to your heart's content
  • For sound explorers: create your own patches with one or more instruments (chains) and save them for later using snapshots
  • Record the multitrack audio and midi of your performances with immediate access to files via the web interface
  • Compose your totally un-cheesy backing tracks using the built-in step sequencer and arranger functions to support your live performance and launch with a midi controller

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