A Handy thread to throw interesting bits of tech on…
I bet it gets abused and re-purposed within five posts or doesn’t even get to that number…

This is way cool. I used to do this sort of thing in Basic…
Here’s an interesting new synth idea called “ALT” with an old “pin matrix” (like the EMS Putney VCS3) twist from French manufacturer Cyma Forma:

I don’t know if this post will qualify, it is admittedly a stretch:
On the BeagleV-Fire board, which could be an “interesting device” in its own right, but since it is RISC-V based can’t run Zynthian, yet, there is a connector labeled syzygy on the back of the PCB. Looking for what that is led me to the web site - so basically it seems to be an open standard, maintained by a company (or person?) named Opal Kelly, mainly oriented towards connecting relatively high bandwidth devices to an FPGA, which does make sense because the PolarFire cpu chip on the BeagleV-Fire board does provide an FPGA as a distinguishing feature in addition to four RISC-V cores (5 if you count a “monitor” core).
What did you bet?

Hi All,
I found a very nice wavetable (GitHub - FigBug/Wavetable: Wavetable synth) synth and compiled it for my Zynth. It uses quite some CPU load so do not load to many other stuff or overclock your Zynthian. I asked the creator whether I could distribute this compiled version for aarch64/Arm8.
Happy experimenting:

Cheers,

That’s five.

The made presets are accessible via the Zynthian interface. 
Cheers and enjoy,
