There is something rather magical about saying that sort of thing…
This is one Tessa wrote for an LP we did a while ago . . .
Your piece reminded me of this… Thanx.

Hello all.

Sorry Iguyome45 , this is a bit of a tradition but don’t feel intimidated, it’s lovely to hear anything people have done with a zynth but it’s not essential, just a bit of fun…
I will make, maybe an old french song, at the level of my skill

Hi
I am Walt, a hobby musician and professional electronics engineer living in the English seaside town of Clacton-on-Sea. I have very little formal music training but dabble in whatever I can, mostly guitar. I have a selection of instruments including MIDI keyboards, wind, guitar and drum controllers which I intend to dust off and drive my new Zynth. I have been designing and building a synth for the past few years (actually, probably decades!!!) but the latest iteration was so similar to Zynthian that when I read your blurb I decided to abandon (or mothball) my efforts and try this - so far, none too shabby. I want a device that I can program and control with lots of knobs (like we did in the 1970s) but can also be used as a simple and small live tool with recall of all those lovely soundscapes so plan to have a hardware controller for sound design and a box (or two) that lives in my gig bag.
I have been using gnu/linux since the turn of the century and am an advocate for free and open source adoption. I participate in several open projects (and host a few) and have much experience with project management, issue management, version management, release management and test management. (That is a lot of management - like a Hale and Pace sketch (for our UK viewers) 
).
I hope this project turns out to be the panacea I have been looking for and allows me to make music rather than just design the tools to do so. I have read a lot of the discourse and you look like a fairly friendly bunch. I may stick around…

Welcome aboard! Please accept a complimentary glass of champagne . . .
My Parents live in Harwich . . . Did you visit Maplin in Southend…? 
It all sounds similar to my own journey. . . .Trying to build something around a hifiberry amp and wondering how to get latency down…
It’s like the 70’s build but now you get a community . . .
…Even if it’s only this one …

Yes, I remember Maplin when it was just that little shop on the A13. Later I used to connect to their dial-up ordering service via an acoustic coupled modem and be excited at being presented with a text based menu that I could traverse, slowly… Maplin had a chequered history and rather lost its way. I long since stopped relying upon it for my supply of electronic components. Farewell old friend

Cheers!

Hello fellow zynthonians !
My name is Steven, I’m 41 and from Belgium.
I’m a unix system administrator with a passion for (micro)electronics and building things.
No music skills whatsoever, but messing with electronics and listening to randomly generated sounds keeps me sane 
Since my attention span is fairly short ooh look a butterfly there is always some half finished projects on my desk.
My favorite toys: hackrf, plutosdr, prusa i3, a vast selection of microcontrollers and SOC’s
Currently working on:
- zynthian box (7" touchscreen, pi 3B, clone hifiberry dac+, mcp23017 with assorted encoders & launchkey mini)
- Teensy midi sequencer (teensy 3.2 with potentiometers, buttons and oled - loosely based on teensy examples and adafruit Fifteenstep)
- another teensy controlling an OPL2 sound board; still looking for a nice way to integrate another soundboard into my zynthian setup - I have no HW mixer)
- RC remote control (STM32 with oled and NRF24’s to control a 3D printed spider)
- some assorted trinkets for integration with esphome and Hass.io
Hope you are having a great day and see you around the forum!
grtz
