New touch screen build

Using Zynthian
11

I am currently on holiday, but it should work as follows:

  1. Go to /zynthian/zynthian-ui/ and edit the file .git/config. You need to change the URL from the original https://github.com/zynthian/zynthian-ui.git to my fork https://github.com/wanthalf/zynthian-ui.git
  2. Update with git pull
  3. Switch the branch with git checkout v5touch
  4. Then just add the line ZYNTHIAN_TOUCH_KEYPAD="V5" to /zynthian/config/zynthian_envars.sh to activate the touch keypad (or comment/remove it to disable)

Now a restart of the zynthian service (or the whole zynthian) should show it.

And you may want to install sudo apt install python3-cairosvg to support the SVG metronome icon, but it should fall back to the PNG version if you don’t do that (not tested).

Feel free to correct me, anyone.
