 - A work-in-progress baremetal MIDI synthesizer for the Raspberry Pi 3 or above, based on [Munt], [FluidSynth] and [Circle].
 - Turn your Raspberry Pi into a dedicated emulation of the [famous multi-timbre sound module][Roland MT-32] used by countless classic MS-DOS, PC-98 and Sharp X68000 games!
-- 🆕 Add your favorite [SoundFonts][SoundFont] to expand your synthesizer with [General MIDI], [Roland GS], or even [Yamaha XG] support for endless MIDI possibilities.
-- 🆕 Includes General MIDI and Roland GS support out of the box thanks to [GeneralUser GS] by S. Christian Collins.

 - No operating system, no complex Linux audio configuration; just super-low latency audio.
 - Easy to configure and ready to play from cold-boot in a matter of seconds.
 - The perfect companion for your vintage PC or [MiSTer FPGA] setup.

+  * Pi Zero and 1 are unfortunately too slow (even with an overclock) and unsupported.
 - PWM headphone jack audio.
   * Quality is known to be poor (aliasing/distortion on quieter sounds).

+## ❤️ Contributing
+
+This project is generally quite stable and very usable, but still considered by its author to be in early stages of development.
+
+Hence, please **DO NOT** work on large features and open pull requests without prior discussion. There is a strong possibility that work-in-progress code for proposed features already exists, but may not yet be public, and your work will have to be rejected.
+
+Trivial changes to the code that fix issues are always welcome, as are improvements to documentation, and hardware/software compatibility reports.
