Once more we gathered around our microphones, spread across four time zones (five if you include whatever twighlight zone @wyleu joined 
) and discussed a wide variety of subjects and - breaking news - that included Zynthian!!! In no particular order we:
- Invented a hardware keyboard split device consisting of a credit card or beer mat stuck between keys not dissimilar to how Keith Emerson wedged knives into his keyboards.
- Reminisced about old games consoles - and of course how to build a Zynthian into their defunct cases. (Apparently gaming jumped straight from Pong to Elite with nothing of merit in between.)
- Colourful buttons that you press to make sounds and how one is wending its way across the world to a north west province of the land down under. We all look forward to seeing and hearing what @pac_71 makes.
- Can @freeKey persuade @wyleu to design and build him a button panel to change patches in his classic organ style project and when will it look like this?
- Not all 3.5" touchscreens are the same. Some don’t (seem to) work on RPi4. (This one might.)
- Apparently not every project involving a Raspberry Pi makes music.
- Synthstrom make very pretty and apparently rather good (if a touch expensive) sequencers.
- Of course a night wouldn’t be complete without a brief soirée with zynseq and zynmixer updates - there isn’t really any - someone has been too busy renovating sash windows.
- @ronsum is waking at unearthly hours to check notifications on availability of TSynth (also discussed here. Beware - you don’t get all that you see but looks like a fun way to while away some hours.
- We have promises (or at least press-ganged offers) for a couple of show-and-tells next week including @ronsum building a new toy (I wish I had noted down what it is but all the more anticipation)
- We had a live hacking session where our youngest member was convinced to install malware on his Zynthian (only kidding @freeKey). We found bugs and work-arounds. We had live Zynthian configuration session. We understand sub-snapshots a lot better including their limitations (and bugs). It was fun to help each other fix issues and see someone’s first foray into the innards of their Zynthian.
- We found other bugs and workarounds (of a sort).
I don’t think we have had such a Zynthian-centric Zynth club meeting before. It was fun but did take us towards (or past) midnight. I am not sure how much fun @freeKey’s neighbours might have thought it as he demonstrated his success with sweeping organ renditions 
.
No vegetables were harmed in the making of this programme.
