MINIDEXED is a superb implementation of 8 instances of DEXED, the free DX7 emulator, on a "bare metal" Raspberry PI. Think of a TX816 in mini format. In this video, I walk through the installation, setup and navigating the menu. Table of contents:
00:00 introduction
01:00 assembling the PI setup (LCD and rotary encoder)
01:32 other hardware needed
02:45 installing and configuring the software
03:30 navigating the menu, setting up a performance
06:34 important considerations
06:54 demo (synthwave... )
09:36 bye-bye

Rotary encoder: bit.ly/3KSts6o
GPIO expander: amzn.to/3M8Kduf
You can also buy one of the sets by Freenove: amzn.to/3rtuvBR - these will get you a lot of components useful for synth projects.

Some bands / artists I've been following for a long time are (among others) Massive Attack, Pink Floyd, Pet Shop Boys, Archive, A-Ha, Yes, Porcupine Tree, John Mellencamp, Jean-Michel Jarre, Metallica, Peter Gabriel and Perturbator. So my music will kind of sound like those (without ever reaching the greatness of those artists, of course). :-)
