Everything from the zynseq to brightness_config including the links to the C libraries that actually do the work as lib_zyncore, the zynengine objects that wrap the audio and MIDI devices and the many components used by the GUI screen.
Everything from the zynseq to brightness_config including the links to the C libraries that actually do the work as lib_zyncore, the zynengine objects that wrap the audio and MIDI devices and the many components used by the GUI screen.
It also defines the threads that respond to the various events that occur within the GUI environment and the various devices connected to the zynthian like Keyboards both musical and QWERTY, mice and all manner of MIDI paraphernalia.

Then the zynthian_gui Object is defined.
==== Functions ====
===== create_screens =====
The zynautoconnector is started which establishes the jack client connection to the Jack Server that does all the actual audio and midi processing, and runs this in it's own thread and handles the locking to ensure components play nice.
The global references for the audio recorder, the mixer and the sequencer are instantiated from there modules

A dictionary called screens is defined and this has string keys that points to the individually defined screen objects that display the appropriate screens is defined and the value of the dictionary si set to the instantiated object from the .zyngui modules.
and this is what actually handles all the GUI interaction and functionality.
# Create Core UI Screens
self.screens['info'] = zynthian_gui_info()
self.screens['splash'] = zynthian_gui_splash()
self.screens['loading'] = zynthian_gui_loading()
self.screens['confirm'] = zynthian_gui_confirm()
....
The main menu is set depending on the zynthian kit...
and the zynthian device manager is instantiated.
Then the threads and polling mechanisms are started .
