The Zynthian UI is displayed on a display and controlled by 4 knobs with switches. You can also control the UI with a touch-display, a mouse or a keyboard (computer keyboard or MIDI keyboard, both!)

The core Zynthian UI consists of a display and four knobs with push switches. You can also control the UI with a touchscreen, a mouse or a keyboard (computer keyboard or MIDI keyboard, both!)

The four knobs & switches are the primary control mechanism to navigate the UI: selecting options on menus and adjusting the instrument parameters. The knobs can act as assignable MIDI / OSC controllers for the instrument's parameters (frequently lots of them!). You can emulate the knob's behaviour using the touch-display, but it's sub-optimal and accessing some features could be tricky.

The knobs can act as assignable MIDI / OSC controllers for parameters (frequently lots of them!). Most operations may be performed with the touchscreen but some may not be intuitive.
