Zynthian:

Has a ton of great synths, doesn’t require you to engage in any criminal activity.  Latest update is amazing and rich and delightful .. I challenge you to  dig into it.  Definitely an under-sold product, and terribly misunderstood: its a complete open synth platform, with literally hundreds of synths, and their presets, to investigate.

I got the original device which works wonderfully once you assemble it, and I also installed ZynthianOS on this:

.. which supports Zynthian and is, really, just a wonderful digital synth engine to have at hand.  Fits smartly on the desk, too...

I’m really close to pulling the trigger on the Zoom LiveTrack L12, its so tempting to switch off Behringer for this little mini-rig ..
