Zynth club. .. There's just one rule in Zynth club

Oh yeah, this was not meant to be a downplay of your work, just a healthy discussion that maybe pep8 and some other standards could be followed to improve readability and the community’s ability to contribute. I could make the change to pep8 easily, I use black formatter for python in my day-job and I’ve never found any issues with it, I run it before committing in git and works wonders with regards to code formatting! (of course this would require this changes to be made in a stable branch separate from main)

We were discussing some of the UI flows there, I think some pretty interesting ideas popped up, actually we’re all in the same boat thinking that zynthian’s potential and uses have outgrown It’s initial designs and intents, and with the huge growth in features and finishing touches we though revisiting the UI flows to try and get a more intuitive user experience might bring this to more and more musicians that are maybe less technically inclined.

Yeah, we all do think that this is getting closer, curating the list of plugins, and having a few example snapshots, maybe one basic piano + pad one to pre-load as default (we were discussing that It might be desirable for zynthian to be able to make sounds as soon as it’s first powered on, like more or less what other synths do), sounds like the way to go!

I think this will come when we (as in the community) devote some time to make things like OOBE, user experience and documentation easier to understand and use by non-technical people.

Here’s hoping you can join us at some point! You got here your fellow spaniard to help you with the brit’s accents (they can get strong sometimes :crazy_face: @wyleu )
