Well, after a lot of learning and work (and painting, sanding, painting, sanding, painting, sanding and painting again, yes, really) I present to you the tight RED DWARF:
The key for this was getting a v4 zynthian but smaller and more space efficient (even if it made the whole build a bit more of a pain. I used midi trs (in, thru, out from top to bottom) to get the size down (type A is the standard now, if you’re wondering wich one i used) and also added a switch to the usb C, so i can turn it of. Also there is a external acces to the sd card in the works, but i’ll have to design my own pcb by the looks of it!
!I also kept the ins and outs at 6.3mm, just because i prefer it and shrinking further is not possible due to some other components.
also the top left thing is a pedal connection, trs to be able to put 2 with a stereo to mono splitter, that for now is connected to sw4 in the screen but that i plan to move to some of the free gpio pins
(the fan connection is temporal, where those wires go is where the hifiberry goes.
I made almost all of these designs that i could make available if you wanted them.
And now to please the gods, a quick jam i recorded with the unit and a squarp pyramid:
Aaaand yeah, that’s it for now, thanks for all the inspiration in this thread that led me to do such a build.
