The pad is purple which indicates that the sequence is not playing. Similar to how we navigate the cursor in the Pattern Editor we can move the cursor in ZynPad with the BACK and SELECT encoders. Move the cursor to the top left to highlight pad A1 (it is probably already there) then short press SELECT encoder to start playback of sequence A1. This can also be achieved with a touchscreen by simply pressing pad A1. Playback of the pattern you created should start to loop.
ZynPad is the performance view. It shows each sequence as a _pad_. The pad has a colour and its name has a prefix (A-Z) representing its group and a number identifying its sequence number. Each pad triggers a different sequence. By default there are 16 sequences, 1-16.
Each pad has an icon indicating its play mode. The default mode is _Loop All_. This means the pad will play the whole sequence then wait unit the next sync point / bar before starting again.

Playback of the pattern you created should start to loop. During playback a green right-ointing arrow shows on the pad.
Tempo may be adjusted using the SNAPSHOT encoder or by selecting "Tempo" from the context menu (if touchscreen widgets enabled).

The playback indication icon changes to red to indicate it is stopping and then disappears to indicate it has stopped. Most play modes will continue to play the sequence until the next sync point. A sync point may be thought of as the start of a bar, indeed their spacing is set using the menu option _Beats per bar_.
Most play modes will wait until the next sync point before starting. If you start a sequence part way though a bar then it will show an orange _starting_ icon indicating it is waiting to start and will start at the end of this bar. This may also occur if a sequence length results in it stopping mid-bar in which case it may wait in _starting_ state until the next bar. (See section on Play Modes.)
