Finally made the time to update RPi and upgrade Zynth. I keep these Ethernetted so I can RTFM on the Pi, while I crawl up the learning curve on the Zynth. Also easily hooked up to zynthian.local.
I get free internet between 2:00 and 6:00 AM, and I only get 10 GB/month. It took two hours to download the new OS, and two days to find my way around the new major changes.
I really like the mixer, it makes multiple tracks so much easier, having everything right there.
There’s one thing I noticed, though. When I use either Aeolus or setBfree, the keyboard range seems to be global instead of per channel (although setBfree seems to have the split preset on upper + lower). Of course this could be operator error. I got a good deal on a used KRONOS which has a great draw bar, but lousy pipe organ (unless you want to buy another Extension), so Aeolus would be good to have. I built a draw bar Combination on the old TRITON a long time ago. And just recently built a couple of dozen “pistons” for Aeolus on PC; loading these on the Zynth would be great.
I haven’t tried recording yet, got a lot of xruns on the old OS.
Anyway, keep up the good work, guys. I know building Zynthian must be a labor of love, because it can’t be that profitable. I’ve switched my laptop to Debian, I like the community much better than Microsoft or Apple.
