Zynthian Software

The easiest way of getting the software is downloading the last official SD image from here:

Download Zynthian "Gorgona Edge" SD-image

It's a 9GB image file (a good amount of soundfonts) compiled for RBPi3.

If you prefer a smaller image (Gorgonilla) or need support for RBPi2, then you can download the older Gorgona image:

Download Zynthian "Gorgona" SD-image

These SD images include all the Zynthian software, properly configured for the standard hardware -- ready to use. Plug and play! ;-)

After downloading the SD-image, you have to write it to a SDcard. You need a minimum size of 16GB SDcard for the full Gorgona image or 8GB for the Gorgonilla lite image.

Use Etcher https://etcher.io/ (free software works on Mac, Windows or Linux) to flash the image onto the SDcard.

Or do it manually: There is a really good manual for this at this link.

If you prefer, you can build your own SD image following these instructions:
