→Pad Editor
The Pad Editor is a view that allows the manipulation of sequences used by pads. To access the Pad Editor, from within ZynSeq short press LAYER encoder or tap the top left of the screen. This shows a context menu. The ENTER encoder may be used to highlight entries within this menu and short press ENTER will select that entry. Alternatively the touchscreen may be used to select an entry by touching the selection. If the menu extends beyond the bottom of the screen it may be scrolled by highlighting lower entries with the LAYER encoder or press and drag with the touchscreen. (Note: When touch and dragging on touchscreen the menu option will be selected when touch is released.) The first entries in context menu are common to all ZynSeq views. Select entry, "Pad Editor".

Use the ENTER and BACK encoders to move the cursor to the top left corner. This represents the starting time for the first sequence. Note that this sequence is called "A1" and has a purple background. This will be explained later but we will start to see its relevance soon. Short press ENTER encoder will add a pattern at the cursor position.

A black bar should appear which represents the pattern. It will have a number which identifies which pattern has been added. If using a touchscreen you can tap the pattern grid to add a pattern. This may take a little practice to place it where you want but you can press, drag and release to position it more accurately. Great! We now have a pattern added to the sequence for pad A1. This won't yet be of much use but let's see how that looks in ZynPad. Short press LAYER encoder or touch top left of touchscreen to show the context menu and select ZynPad.

The ZynPad view shows and now the top left rectangle has changed to show the same colour background as the pad we just modified. This is because an empty sequence disables its pad hence shows grey but a populated sequence enables the pad which shows in that pad's colour. The pad's name, "A1" is shown on the pad and another icon which represents the pad's mode. Let's not worry about that yet.
