Each pad belongs to a mutually exclusive group. This means that only one pad within a group may play. Pads from other groups may play simultaneously. The group is indicated by the single letter prefix of the pad name. Therr are up to 26 groups, A-Z.

Within the pad editor move the cursor to pad A3. Use the context menu to change the group to 'B'. The pad name changes to B3 and its background colour changes to blue. Repeat to change A4 to B4.
Note: Pad colours alternate between purple and blue. All ''odd'' groups (A,C,E...) are purple and all ''even'' groups (B,D,F...) are blue.

Zynpad shows the pads with their corresponding group colours.
Start pad B3. Sequence B3 will start when the currently playing sequence reaches a sync point so that playback is synchronised. Start pad B4. Sequence B3 will continue then sequence B4 starts as B3 stops. A2 should continue to play. This is a powerful performance feature of ZynPad. You can assign any quantity of pads to any group providing groups of mutually exclusive (only one can play at a time) sequences. Sequences from different groups can play simultaneously but sequences from the same group will play sequentially.
Start pad A1. Pad A1 changes to green and its sequence starts playing.
Start pad B3. Pad B3 turns orange indicating it is waiting to start. Sequence B3 will start when the currently playing sequence reaches a sync point so that playback is synchronised. Start pad B4. Sequence B3 will continue then sequence B4 starts as B3 stops. A1 should continue to play. This is a powerful performance feature of ZynPad. You can assign any quantity of pads to any group providing groups of mutually exclusive (only one can play at a time) sequences. Sequences from different groups can play simultaneously but sequences from the same group will play sequentially.
New term: A Sync point is a location within playback at which sequences will loop and / or group sequential play will change to another sequence. Sync points are synonymous with bars in traditional music notation. See section on time signature.

Remember, sequences are indexed by number, 1, 2, 3, etc. and Groups by letter, A, B, C, etc. Sequence labels consist of the group letter and sequence number, e.g. A1.
