I watched Floyd Steinberg for his thorough walkthroughs of the Yamaha QY sequencers, but until I saw his tutorial on building the MicroDEXED I did not know he was into DIY.

<div>That's pretty cool. Probably doesn't help the OP much, but it def makes me want to buy a STM32F746G-DISCO for $56.</div>

<p dir="ltr">Thank you all for your input so far.<br>
The idea is I could hack something together very quickly by connecting off the shelf devices, and not getting into the rabbit hole of knobs, DIY cases etc
<br>
I gave it some more thought, and I figured I can find used mini PCs for a fraction of the price of an rpi5 and with better options in terms of software and hardware upgrades (ie, extra ram, additional storage etc). Meaning I might as well have a windows box
with a vst host and a touch monitor or/and usb midi controller and call it a day.<br>
The question still stands though - are there any softsynths that are optimised for a touch screen? Does it feel any good at all to control one with your finger or should I think of something else?</p>

Not touch screen, but MiniDexed is kind of the darling of the<br>
Pi/Synth world these days. Its a DX7 emulator that uses a jog<br>
wheel and a 16x2 LCD. You can bang this together with a<br>
little time and not much cost.<br>

<div>I was about to recommend a related project, also based on Cirle (a bare metal c++ 'environment' for raspberries), which showcases their touch UI.</div>

<div>Somewhere on my want-to-do-list is to make a Faust backend for Circle..</div>
