  • zynthian-sys

    System configuration scripts & files for Zynthian.

  • Give Zynthian a go for a pretty turnkey and highly functional RPi synth platform. Norns is another option but a bit more limited but you can design synths in SuperCollider and a Lua UX.

  • Audio

    Teensy Audio Library

  • If you really want to solder some stuff. Try Teensy audio. Great support including MIDI and USB hosting.

  • WorkOS

  • Sonic Pi

    Code. Music. Live.

  • PureData, SuperCollider and even SonicPi are good for prototyping synth algorithms. Given they are fairly cross-platform you can develop on desktop and deploy to Raspberry Pi or even iOS which has a player for PureData.
