Zynthian - DIY Linux Raspberry PI synthesizer setup tutorial and sound demo

Zynthian - DIY Raspberry PI synthesizer setup tutorial and sound demo. Table of contents and all the links you need below! In this video, I’m walking through all the steps necessary to build your own “Zynthian“ Raspberry PI DIY synth, and play some patches, too. I’ll show the sequencer and audio tools in another video next week. #zynthian is a #linux distribution specifically designed for running synthesizer and audio software on the #raspberrypi. It comes with a specialized, streamlined user interface and a lot of apps preinstalled. You can buy an assembled kit online, but that doesn’t come cheap, so in this video, I’ll use some standard components to make it work. This build does not include the 4 encoders and buttons, so if you want me to have a go at these, please write a short note in the comments!

So my music will kind of sound like those (without ever reaching the greatness of those artists, of course). :-)
