To access the sequencer, select "Step Sequencer" from the main menu or use the shortcut: long press SNAPSHOT encoder. The first time you access the sequencer you will see a 2x2 grid of purple rectangles. This view is called ZynPad and provides a live performance interface to ZynSeq. Each of rectangle represents a pad which may be used to play a sequence. Use of ZynPad is described later but first we need to add some sequences to play.
To access the sequencer, select "Sequencer" from the main menu or use the shortcut: long press LAYER encoder. The first time you access the sequencer you will see a 4x4 grid of rectangles organised as 4 columns of colours. This view is called ZynPad and provides a live performance interface to ZynSeq.

What is a sequence? A sequence is a collection of patterns which may be played and looped. Several sequences may be played simultaneously, each playing any of the 16 MIDI channels. We will see how sequences are manipulated in the section Arranger.
What is a sequence? A sequence is a collection of tracks which play in unison. By default each sequence has a single track. Several sequences may be played simultaneously.
What is a track? A track is a collection of patterns which may be played and looped. Each track plays out to its own MIDI channel. We will see how sequences and tracks are manipulated in the section Arranger.
What is a pattern? A pattern is a collection of MIDI events, e.g. notes. Each pattern has a duration in steps and may include as many simultaneous (polyphonic) notes as desired on each step. We will see how patterns are manipulated in the section Pattern Editor.
