You are describing a remote control screen. You could do this with a cheap (Android) tablet connected to Zynthian via OSC. Search the forum for example of this having been demonstrated.
But I was talking about a MiniMoog emulator … just that. With graphics and knobs to move on the display. A pocket MiniMoog …

Hello,
I feel that a partial evaluation of my project needs to be done.
I haven’t been able to finish the Twinthian project yet:
I miss finishing the rear panel and the line inputs from the front and rear panels going to the Zynthian sound cards number 1. I have a solution in progress using a mix using small transformers.
Zynthian number two will work with the Behringer UMC404HD
The cousin - a raspberry pi with PatchBox OS (the third piece of hardware in a common cabinet) - will be with a Behringer UMC 1818. I’ve done a lot of work with programming equipment here lately, mainly I managed to successfully connect the BomeBox, which has all the controls and synthesizers. I already have an Open Stage Control server running on it, which communicates with the BomeBox via a dedicated USB cable. All midi data from the controlleres is sent directly from the BomeBox via the network connection, so I can record it. It seems that the optimal sequencer running from the command line will be seq192.
I didn’t manage my GAS a bit about the toys they play and it grew a bit, but at least I managed to connect it into a functional unit.
I can cancel the solution with Y cables solving OTG USB ports, I replaced the access with rtp-midi.
Devices that will have a common cabinet are marked in the red frame, the Plexiglas prototype of which is in the photos above.
stay tuned

Today I celebrate a small milestone. I placed my new synth cabinet in its designated place. So it was rather a test of whether I was able to drive into the designated place (niche in the wall). Yes I measured well and I am able.
The basic audio wiring is complete. It is missing to output effect loops from E-Mu synth and inserts from Behringer 404HD sounds in the patchbay.
One shelf is missing for the BomeBox and its USB HUB. Two MIDI HUBs and a USB MIDIKliK will be connected to it. A 1U box is already prepared for them, in which they will be placed (in the photo it is the upper free position).
The main part that is still missing is TWINTHIAN. The 3U Box for it has been bought a long time ago, but it is missing to design and print the inner box to hold three RPi. I’ve simplified the question of which sound system, both Zynthians will have a Behringer 404HD and the third RPi with the already debugged PatchBox OS will have a Behringer 1820 connected.
I made the cabinet myself from ash lath, 2 pcs 1200x600x18 mm and 2 pcs 1800x600x18 mm were needed. Also some wheels, aluminum profiles, handles. I have worked with a hand saw, router, miter saw and electric hand planer. The dimensions of the cabinet are approx. 1133x898x600 mm
