New SD image: ZynthianOS Buster RC3

Hi @zynthianers!

The new official ZynthianOS SD-image is out. Please, download from here:

https://os.zynthian.org/zynthianos-last-stable.zip

Report issues (if any!) on this thread …
And remember it’s pre-configured for kits v3 & v4. If you have other hardware, you should configure your hardware from webconf as first step.

I’ve updated links on web & wiki. Please, warn if you detect an outdated link to older images.

Enjoy!

:dizzy_face: thanks ! I’m going to test it right now !

Works on my V4. Great job!
After activating wifi in hotspot mode I could not login from firefox (just ignored my password input). Worked in chrome.
After setup I still could not add a sfz lib from web-ui through Musical Artifacts.

Will test more, but sound, midi in, screen, wifi are ok.

Is there already any use for the rubber buttons under the screen? When I press them the indicators in the top right of the screen register as if it were an incomming midi message.

This is an old issue. Many SFZs from Musical Artifacts don’t work. The main reasons are:

  • There is little standarization about SFZ directory/file structure and many SFZs are “strangely” packaged
  • Some SFZs uses op-codes not supported by LinuxSampler.

You should give more details about the error you get …

By default, the 4 buttons are assigned to Program Change 1, 2, 3 & 4. Useful for using with subsnapshots (ZS3).

Ah, the I’ll just download to pc and upload.
Well, I don’t get an error at all, the “busy wheel” just keeps on spinning…

Oh nice, will try the program change thingy

Try using a USB flash drive for your samples… the problem with SFZ will be solved.
Samsung FIT Plus USB 3.1 or similar…

For the time being, maybe wget (which can resume interrupted downloads) could be of use:

Hi

there seem to be something wrong with the capability of the zynthian to forward the GUI to another computer via ssh . It freezes if trying to display ZynAddSubFx GUI:

The system freezes if I load #1ZY>Arpeggios/Arpeggio1 while the zynthian is connected to my mac pro with ethernet to ethernet cable and in the mac I have X running and I am connected to the zynthian with ssh -Y. No GUI shows up on the mac and the zynthian freezes, requiring a reboot.

If instead I load pianoteq, everything is find and the pianoteq GUI shows up on the mac.

Or if I load #1ZY>Arpeggios/Arpeggio1 without having an ssh -Y open into the zynthian from the X session on the mac then everything is fine (of course I do not see the gui but at least the synth works).

the receiving site…thats me has no problem with wget.
the server hosting the image can’t handle reconnects…

FINE zynthianos-last-stable.zip.torrent (71.9 KB)

The server is a straightforward Apache and should manage reconnects without problem. How are you using wget?

Regards,

over safari and reconnect.ither sites will do so and work.
perhaps I should switch totally back to cli

Hi
the new image seems to have broken something in the capability of the zynthian to forward the GUI of ZynAddSubFx to another computer via ssh . It works with e.g. pianoteq but it freezes if trying to display ZynAddSubFx GUI and then I need to reboot. Below I explain what I did if you want to recreate the problem.

The system freezes if I load #1ZY>Arpeggios/Arpeggio1 while the zynthian is connected to my mac pro with ethernet to ethernet cable and in the mac I have X running and I am connected to the zynthian with ssh -Y. No GUI shows up on the mac and the zynthian freezes, requiring a reboot.

If instead I load pianoteq, everything is find and the pianoteq GUI shows up on the mac.

Or if I load #1ZY>Arpeggios/Arpeggio1 without having an ssh -Y open into the zynthian from the X session on the mac then everything is fine (of course I do not see the gui but at least the synth works).

Any idea what might had changed? I never had such problem with the previous zynthian image.

It could be related to the new ZynAddSubFX GUI, called ZynFusion. This GUI is really nice, but it’s heavy, specially when using remotely. Also, it probably uses some X11 extension that could not be available on every X11 server. What X11 server are you using?

The latest SD images has moved, for a lot of packages, from install scripts that download & build the packages from source, to pre-compiled packages from the KVR Studio repositories.

Perhaps the old GUI is also available on the deb package. We could try … If not, we could omit the deb package and use the old install script for ZynAddSubFX.

You can test it like this:

apt-get remove zynaddsubfx zynaddsubfx-data
$ZYNTHIAN_RECIPE_DIR/install_zynaddsubfx.sh

Regards,

Thanks. I will try this weekend
