  • Zynthian V5.0 synthesizer module - Considering selling

    From Nightfox@eric.oulashin@gmail.com to All on Fri Sep 4 19:46:45 2026
    I have a Zynthian V5.0 synthesizer module I'm considering selling. It's a synthesizer & sound effects box based around a Raspberry Pi 16GB. It's sold as a kit, and I put it together myself. It's not the latest version - The latest is their 5.1, which is made for the Raspberry Pi 5 (more processing power); this one is the 5.0 with a Raspberry Pi 4.

    It uses the open-source Zynthian OS, which is made for making synthesizer music.

    I just put a new 32GB micro-SD card in it (Sandisk) because it seems the older micro-SD card I had in it was starting to degrade (after simply being left sitting for a while, I turned it on and the OS had a kernel panic and wouldn't fully boot). I've flashed the latest Zynthian OS on the new micro-SD card, so the software is like new.

    I think it's fun to use, but I don't really use it much though (I also have a traditional synthesizer), so I'm considering selling this. Maybe US$400, negotiable.

    I've put some photos of it here:

    I'd actually take $300 for it.

    I have a Zynthian V5.0 synthesizer module I'm considering selling.

    Looks good. What are the specs? Also, a demo would be useful.

    I have a Zynthian V5.0 synthesizer module I'm considering selling.

    It actually sold fairly quickly. But it had a Raspberry Pi 4 with 8GB RAM and a 32GB micro-SD card. I wasn't using it much and didn't record a demo, but there are demos of these Zynthian synthesizer units on YouTube. There's even one on Floyd Steinberg's channel.

    (I also have a traditional synthesizer)...

    Whacha got?

    I have a Roland Juno-DS 61-key synthesizer.

    Due to some fairly significant debt I have right now, today I considered selling it to help pay that down, though I wouldn't really want to sell it.. I haven't been playing it much though.

    I also considered possibly selling my Fender Mustang 3 v2 amp.. I wouldn't be able to get much money for that, but it would at least be something. I have a Roland Micro Cube amp I could use in its place.

    Nice. I have the earlier Juno-D.
