After compiling, you can test encoders and buttons with:
/zynthian/zyncoder/build/zyncoder_test
Regards
You must run:
./zyncoder_test
from the build directory.
Regards,
root@zynthian://zynthian# cd /zynthian/zyncoder
root@zynthian:/zynthian/zyncoder# cd build
root@zynthian:/zynthian/zyncoder/build# ./zyncoder_test

Did you try to move your knobs and push your buttons after running the test program?
Have you stopped the zynthian UI:
systemctl stop zynthian
If this doesnāt work, I would consider burning a fresh image

Yes but no reactions from Zynthian
In Oram, when viewing CC controls and I move the control (like sustain pedal), I see the value change in the UI. In Vangelis, this doesnāt happen: the UI doesnāt change.
I saw this using sfizz, with any sampleset.
Maybe this is only for sfizz, and maybe it never worked for sfizz? I donāt see this problem with other plugins.
Update: I no longer see this issue.

Hi @jlearman ,
Better results will be with this version of Vangelis
Last image has name 2026-08-22-zynthianos-vangelis-2608-beta.img.xz now. Will be change in the timeā¦

Hi @jlearman !
Iām reading ābookwormā in the first screenshot.
Bookworm is not supported anymore in Vangelis.
Please, donāt try to upgrade from Oram to Vangelis. And donāt try to update bookworm based Vangelis images.
Downloading and installing the Beta Vangelis image, based in Trixie, is mandatory if you want to use Vangelis. Only Trixie is supported now.
Thanks.

I have two requests/suggestions of improvement:
-
recorder icon: should be updated to Player/Recorder [done]
-
midi player submenu: show also MIDI user folders as designed for audio files
Furthermore: short-clicking on a MIDI file it does not play. Bug? [Fixed]
I created a new SD with Vangelis, but now Iām screwed because networking does not work.
Earlier, Wifi stopped working ā not sure why but must be hardware because it also fails on an older SD with non-zynthian Debian Trixie 1.4. Works at first after boot but then fails and wonāt reconnect.
So I connected wired Ethernet to Windows and that was working with Vangelis/Bookworm, but doesnāt work with Vangelis/Trixie, not sure why.
I assigned fixed IP addresses and it works now, but wanted to let you know that something might be broken. (In addition to my RPIās wifi!)
[PS]
Aha, wifi problem was due to default wifi power saving, and once I disabled that, Wifi works fine. I disabled it this way:
/etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/wifi-powersave-off.conf:
[connection]
wifi.power_save = 2
LMK if thereās a better way.
Does this mean you connected directly to a Windows machine and not via a router that works deliver IP address via DHCH? If so this sounds like a mDNS issue. Windows is notorious poor at this and itās behaviour changes on a whim. Sometimes it works and others not. I never tried Windows to provide mDNS resolution. If forced to use this I would get the assigned IP address from zynthianās admin menu and use that rather than hostname.
WiFi may be related to location. There is configuration that limits type in different parts of the world.

Correct: I canāt get a cable from my office to the router on another floor.
Instead I configured Windows to do network sharing on the wired Ethernet port and connected it directly to Zynthian. This worked earlier, using DHCP.
I added a PS above with my wifi fix.
Hi folks,
I am reporting that on the current Vangelis Beta release (updated) the system runs in a segfault (1) error, whenever the audio recorder of the internally generated audio is stopped. The behaviour happens irrespectively of writing to the internal SD or an USB media.
Shortly after Zynthian reloads the current snapshot, and there seem not to be related artifacts in the exported audio file.
I wonder if anyone else noticed it, and if itās worth raising an issue ticket.
Regards
I am seeing no segfaults when starting and stopping the audio recorder from the V5 onscreen button overlay record button. Please raise a github ticket via webconf so that we can trace the issue. Include full procedure to reproduce.
OK, hereās the most trivial bug report ever.
I have a snapshot where, on the MIX screen, one chain is to the far right of the screen, just left of the main mixer. When I first start Zynthian, it appears to the right of the otherwise rightmost chain, rather than just to the left of Main. If I go to any other screen and back to MIX, itās back where it belongs.
Not at all important to me, but indicates that we have two ways of showing the MIX screen, and that there might be other differences lurking that could cause bugs.
LMK if I should open an issue.
BTW, this didnāt happen until fairly recently, say, in the last week or so. I donāt think it happened before I moved to Trixie from Bookworm (though I doubt itās OS-related.) I did that 3 days ago, but no idea how long before that I last updated. I do update fairly often, though, whenever something doesnāt seem to be working (and the issues usually do go away.)
If you have pinned a chain and it is not always showing as pinned, or you have not pinned a chain and it sometimes shows as pinned, then there is a bug that needs reporting via github issue tracker. Please include the snapshot and explain how to recreate, what the expected and actual behaviours are, etc. I havenāt changed anything in the code relating to pinned chains for over a month but I am not the only one touching the codeā¦ .
