By chance I found zynthian and I simply found it amazing, I was already thinking about a dedicated solution to run SF2, but I hadn’t found anything that I liked.
I would like to know if anyone has had success running zynthian on a dedicated notebook or desktop as well as on a Raspberry?
I would like to test it before going after raspberry. Here in Brazil, assembling anything is very expensive, the Raspberry 4 (just the board without any accessories) costs 700 money.
I would mainly like to run multiple layers of soundfonts to use my keyboard.
So I don’t have that much experience with programming at that level.
The idea is to have an interface to test the use of soundfonts in layers.
Would you have any advice on where I could start? I thought about installing Linux and trying to install zynthian on it, some of the scripts would help me from what I read in other topics, but I don’t know which one would be the most current. The posts about this are not very recent.
It’s unlikely to be an easily maintained or functional endeavour.
The zynthian is designed around the Raspberry Pi infrastructure and maintaining it on any other hardware is an exercise probably best reserved for someone with a considerable understanding of linux.
I understand that the project was not designed for this architecture.
I would like to test it before buying a raspberry.
I know it has nothing to do with the idea of the project, but financially this type of project is expensive in my country.
A complete raspberry kit alone could cost a month’s minimum wage and there would still be no parts left for the zynthian project.
As I have a slightly older notebook, I thought about using it to test.
