Hardware is good but the software is plagued with issues on the latest Raspberry PI OS. Had to edit to alter some code to get allows the screen code to work (Pillow library updated method needed). So far I have got either the audio or the buttons working but not both at once.

Ahoy Ian Sorry to hear that you've run into problems! The latest version of Raspberry Pi OS (Trixie) is very new, so you may have an easier time if you install the previous/legacy version (Bookworm). Alternatively, if you open up an issue (with as much detail as you can about what's not working and the full text of any errors that you're getting) we'll do our best to get the software fixed up: https://github.com/pimoroni/pirate-audio/issues

Super gesamt Konzept… Habe den Pirate Audio mit einen Raspberry Pi Zero 2w zum Bau eines Minidexed Synthesizer verwendet. Funktioniert super wenn mann es erst einmal Konfiguriert hat.

Cannot tell whether or not the hardware works as the software is such a mess. Cannot escape a blank/black screen and many errors on the software install. Have spent many hours trying to get it to work with no success. Forums don't seem to help either.

Work as expected but would be great if they would also provide a kernel version for the display instead to be forced to use Python...
