A Nord Modular and a Nord Modular G2

Summary

Zynthian is an open platform for sound synthesis and audio processing consisting of a dedicated hardware device and a software stack. The hardware is based on the Raspberry Pi computer board and it features display, audio & MIDI interface, 4 rotary encoders and push buttons. The specifications and design files are publicly available, as well as tutorials and guides.

The software stack is based on Linux and it includes a good amount of sound synthesis & audio processing software, mostly open source. On top of this stack lies the user interface that gives access to all functionality. Zynthian can be used as a keyboard expander to play virtual instruments, as an audio effect processor and also as a tool for music production.

History

Zynthian project was started in March 2015 by the spanish engineer Fernando Moyano (aka @jofemodo) as a personal DIY project. The project quickly evolved from a blog and it was first showcased at Sonar Festival 2016 (Barcelona). In August 2016, the zynthian forum was created and from then, an international community of engineers, makers and musicians has been steadily growing around. In September 2021, zynthian hardware and software is actively developed by its founder (@jofemodo) and several community contributors (@riban, @mheidt, among others).

Philosophy and Community

Free software and open hardware is the philosophy of Zynthian’s project. It’s possible to download all the code and electronic schemas from the Github project. The only way to get a Zynthian device is by doing it yourself. So you can get an official KIT with all the parts you need for assembling or do it from scratch based on available electronic schematics.

Engines

Zynthian includes more than 30 synth-engines some of the most importants are: ● ZynAddSubFX ● Pianoteq ● SetBFree ● LinuxSampler ● Aeolus ● Dexed ● OBX-D ● MDA ePiano
