Seen this… https://www.polyphone-soundfonts.com/forum/support-bug-reports/507-can-t-build-on-raspberry-pi-4-raspbian-buster could mean onboard SF-2 creation!

Anyone successfully run Polyphone on a Pi…?

Yes!

It is in the Bullseye (current Debian stable) repro so just sudo apt install polyphone. I have this running on my Pi400 running standard Raspbian OS. This does not work on a Zynthian which is running Buster and I could not get it to compile from source.

I’ve just picked up swami that seems to do similar… It’s installed via the desktop software tools in Raspian 64 bit so easy.

As is Polyphone, i.e. you can install Polyphone with the Raspbian OS desktop sofware install program.

Yep, and it’s in 64 bit as well…

Didn’t think to look. ( Distance to stare into, rights to wrong, you kno the kind of thing…)

Last time I tried it wasn’t there and I couldn’t get it to build except on a i3 based ubuntu machine which involved a lot of mucking around…

A very handy tool. Now it’s included in the raspbian 64 bit build so you can run it on a handy pi4 you may have.

This is good news! My Zynth has the new os running smoothly ethernetted to a 64 bit RPi. The VNC GUIs are great. I think I need a bigger screen.
