A couple of related open-source/open-hardware projects: Pisound - https://www.blokas.io/pisound/docs/ https://www.blokas.io/pisound/docs/ Zynthian - https://github.com/zynthian https://github.com/zynthian In the latter's wiki/documentation, there's a big list of open-source synths bundled with their Linux distro. http://wiki.zynthian.org/index.php/Zynthian_Supported_Synth_Engines http://wiki.zynthian.org/index.php/Zynthian_Supported_Synth_... The above link is down at the moment, I think they may be switching CMS backend.
