===Test the Controllers===
===Test the Controllers & UI===
If you get into the Zynthian UI, then you should be in the 'Layer Selection' screen. Let's start testing that your controllers are working OK.
If you get into the Zynthian UI, then you should be in the 'Layer list' screen. Let's start testing that your controllers are working OK.
1. Push 'select' to create a new layer. You should get into the 'Engine Selection' screen.
1. Rotate the SELECT controller up & down for selecting the different options in the Layers menu.
2. Push SELECT to create a New 'Synth Layer'. You should get into the 'Engine Selection' screen.

If it doesn't works, try rotating/pushing the 'learn/snapshot' controller. Perhaps you have cross-wired the 3 & 4 controllers and in that case, you have to fix the wiring. If it doesn't work, try pushing the other two controllers and rotating the controllers. If something happens, most probably you have reversed the wiring order when connecting the controllers. Double-check the wiring again.
3. Rotate the SELECT controller to choose the engine you want to instance for the new layer.
The selector must go down when rotating clockwise and go up when rotating counter-clockwise. If the rotation sense is reversed, you should check the wiring. Perhaps some harness is faulty. The wires color sequence should be: red, black, yellow, green.
4. Select the ZynAddSubFX engine, select channel #1, bank 'Collection' and preset 'Metal Drips'.

You should get into the 'Instrument Control' screen.

5. Rotate every control to test that it works and that the rotation sense is correct.
If some controller doesn't work correctly, check the wiring again. You could try to figure what is happening by analyzing the observed behaviour.
6. Push SELECT to move to the next controller screen. Bold push to select a controller screen from the list.
If everything is working OK, then you should read the [[Zynthian_Users_Guide|User's Guide]] and start enjoying your Zynthian Box, but before that ...
7. Push BACK. You should go back to the 'Preset Selection' screen.

8. Push BACK again. You should go back to the 'Bank Selection' screen.

9. Push LAYER again to return to the 'Layer Selection' screen. Try to create another layer following the same procedure.

10. Push 'SNAPSHOT' to get into the 'Snapshot' screen. Select 'New Snapshot' and your first snapshot will be stored.

If everything is working OK, then you should read the [[Zynthian_Users_Guide|User's Guide]] and start enjoying your Zynthian Box, but before that ... why not trying another preset? Connect your MIDI keyboard and try this:
Bank 'net-wisdom', Preset 'Vangelis Saw - C'
Keep pushing a single note (or a chord) and move the cutoff and resonance controllers. Enjoy! ;-)
