All the configuration described above relates to a song. Zynthian supports 999 songs, each may have different quantity of sequences, etc. Songs are identified by an index 1-999. This can be selected from any ZynSeq context menu or directly by using LAYER encoder in ZynPad or Arranger views. The current song is shown in the topbar. Songs 1-128 may also be selected with MIDI Song Select message.

There are many _banks_ of grids. Each bank contains a set of sequences. Different banks may have different quantity of sequences. Sequence 1 in bank 1 is different to sequence 1 in bank 2. Up to 999 banks may be configured. Banks may be selected from ZynPad using the LAYER encoder or by selecting _Bank_ in the menu.

All songs share the same pool of patterns allowing reuse of patterns in different songs but by default each pad in each song has a different sequence with different pattern. With 2000 patterns available there should be sufficient to create all the sequences in all the songs you need. If not, see section on Save and Load.

A _bank_ may be considered a view or page of sequences / pads and allows more than 64 sequences to be configured, e.g. 2 pages of 8 x 8 grids provides 128 sequences.

Songs may be copied by selecting "Copy song" from Arranger context menu.

Banks may be cleared and reset to default 4 x 4 grid from the Arranger menu.

If any sequences are playing when changing bank, they continue to play.

 

If any sequences are playing when changing song, they continue to play until a sequence in the new song is started. The tempo remains unchanged, i.e. the new song's tempo is ignored (only if playing when the song is selected). This allows seemless transition between songs.
