15/16/17 June 2023 Barcelona: Zynthian at Sonar+D

Great news @zynthianers!

Zynthian project will be at Sonar+D 2023, from 15th to 17th June in Barcelona. We will have a stand for exposition and probably some mic-time to present the project to the audience.

It could be a good place to meet and share. If some of you are interested in joining the zynthian’s sonar-crew, please contact with me or @riban. It could be quite funny :grin:

Enjoy!

Hi @jofemodo :slightly_smiling_face:

Joining the Zynthian squad at Sonar would be such a lovely way to meet people from the project, as well as Zynthianers from the forum.

Unfortunately, it is practically unfeasible for me to plan an escape abroad from my duties during the end of the schooling term.

All good luck with the Sonar event, and of course let percolate updates and video coverage for the Discourse from the Zynthian booth!

Hi @zynthianers!

Take a look to this:

Someone (me?) have to make a zynthian demo in the Sonar+D stage, and the demo must be good enough to share the stage with Mr. Ritchie Hawtin. Someone told pressiing?

@Zynthianers wanting to help to prepare the demo, please, contact me by private. We have one month.

Enjoy!

It would be nice that you showed the web interface, it opens another dimension to understand what’s behind the curtains.

We mention it but we have a very small table so not really the space. We can mention during the workshop

Also, people want to play and we already talk at/with them a lot.

So cool! How do the cv ins for the eurorack version work? Do you still need a midi chain and you somehow route a cv/gate pair in a submenu there?

So much fun talking to so many people from all over the world, each with their own perspective, ideas and questions. It was a pleasure to help @jofemodo and friends to share our little box so full of sound creation elements. Everyone who played with the V5 loved how much was inside this wonderful device and gave us ideas of how we might further improve it.

@dComposer the CV/Gate is configured in webconf to interface with note / CC / CUIA, etc. We are still improving the integration but you can do many different things with it including sync, parameter adjustment, play notes (monophonic with legato)…

I was surprised that there wasn’t more interest in the rack mount version of the V5. People certainly understood a different format factor to be advantageous and CV / gate interface to be useful but it wasn’t a major talking point. I thought it would garner more interest considering we were in the modular synth section of the show. The real star was the V5 which looked super cool, sounded amazing and (after a brief introduction) proved easy to play. It performed perfectly without any significant issues. No glitches or misbehaving. We just needed to return it to a normal state after each punter had finished playing. :grin:
