Well… Compute module is the “production ready” lts version of rPi. So… Why not…

But will it boot Zynthian? 🤣

I guess we will have to wait and see if it pops up in ‘Success cases’

But will it upgrade to the V4 Compute Module?

You do have to love Synth Manufacturer mentality meeting Open Platform mentality that results in 4 different synths (Polyeight, Wavestate, OpSix, ModWave) based on the same Open Platform that are not interoperable ;\> Pokemon … collect them all 🙂

It’s not a Korg but apparently it’s another open platform based on a Pi

I just read this in the Pi news. Made me wonder how many corporations are building products with Pi boards and not telling anyone.  
I’m an old Korg guy: MaxiKorg, Poly 61, Poly 800, (long break), SP 100, TRITON, (long break), KRONOS.  
I first thought that the Zynthian organisation might consider an alliance with Korg, then I thought better…
