Command Line User Guide
Use ssh to remotely access the console (terminal) of the Zynthian. Use ssh in Mac Terminal or use the freely downloadable PuTTY software for Windows.
1 SSH/SFTP access:
login: root password: raspberry
User pi doesn't exist any more and ... it's a good idea to change the password :wink:
2 Base Directory:
/zynthian
Almost all the zynthian stuff like synth engines, audio plugins, soundfonts, zynthian user interface, setup scripts and other specific software is in this directory.
3 UI configuration file
/zynthian/zynthian-ui/zynthian_gui_config.py
This file contains some configuration parameters for the Zynthian User Interface:
- Logging level
- Wiring layout
- Font & Color scheme
- etc.
4 Stopping/Starting the Zynthian UI
You must use systemd-style commands to stop & start any system service, that includes the zynthian UI:
systemctl stop zynthian systemctl start zynthian
If you want to run the Zynthian UI in the console, you must stop the zynthian service and run the zynthian UI as a normal script using these commands:
systemctl stop zynthian /zynthian/zynthian-sys/sbin/zynthian.sh
Running zynthian from the console (terminal) allows you to view the logging/debug messages, which is necessary for debugging (posting these to the forum will enable experts to help you.)
