Note that ZynPad is starting the A1 sequence which consists of Pattern 1 which in turn consists of the notes of your melody. This hierarchical relationship may be slightly more complex than a typical step sequencer but as we will see it offers many benefits. Just remember that a pad triggers a sequence. A sequence contains patterns. A pattern contains MIDI events, e.g. notes.
