The Open Synth Platform
Summer is a relaxed period and i love to dedicate some time to mind-expanding tasks. Integrating Aeolus, a “pipe organ emulator that should be good enough to make an organist enjoy playing it”, has been a very pleasant task and have given to me the oportunity of learning a little bit about these amazing machines that Pipe Organs are and its history. And of course, it’s a very good add for Zynthian 😉
Finally, the long-time-awaited Pure Data zynthian’s engine is here!
The new engine will allow to run any standard patch for “pd vanilla”. No “pd extended” support as it’s completely deprecated.

It’s been a long way from the first Zynthian prototype being announced in this blog, more than 2 years ago. It’s been an interesting trip and along the way, i have learned a lot of things and a small but dynamic community has grown around this crazy project that Zynthian is.
We are proud of introduce the new Zynthian Kit v2.
As it’s normal in almost any development, we had problems and delays, but finally all the parts are ready and we can start to ship it.
Greetings from the sunny BCN, where today the rain fall over and tomorrow the air will smell clean and healthy 🙂

Greetings from MasFort, in Reus, where time passes slowly and tomatoes grow fast! 😉 I hope you are enjoying the summer and recharging your batteries for the coming season.
A little over a year ago I mounted the first Zynthian prototype and since then many things have happened. The software and hardware have evolved a lot and people around the world are building Zynthian Boxes. The project has grown and a small community of users and supporters is borning. It is time to meditate a little bit and consider new goals.
Among these goals is sending a newsletter, more or less regularly, to keep you informed of progress and news about the project. Let’s go there!
