Raspberry Pi: The Unexpected Heart of Modern Synthesizers?

From Korg to Erica Synths, a growing number of synthesizer manufacturers are incorporating the Raspberry Pi as a core component in their digital audio workstations. This isn't 'cheating,' but rather a clever leveraging of the Pi's low cost, programmability, and power to reduce manufacturing costs and accelerate development. The article explores the Pi's role in synthesizers, highlighting examples like the Korg Wavestate and the open-source Zynthian platform, discussing its advantages in cost and development efficiency.
