You can "emulate" the switches by tapping the controller widgets (squares in the 4 corners of the screen). There are short, bold and long actions, same behavior than rotary encoders workflow. Selector screens only have 1 controller widget, but you can also click the zynthian logo at top-right for emulating the "snapshot" switch. The only screen that shows the 4 controllers is the "Instrument Control" screen, so some features are only accessible from there. When the "back" widget is not available, you can go back by tapping the top bar.

You can change the values of the controllers by "sliding" over the widgets. (see the green arrow in the figure here) This is the same as turning the knob. If you are using a mouse, the mouse wheel will modify the parameter value.

You can change the controller values by "sliding" up/down over the widgets. (see the green arrow in the figure here) This is the same as turning the knob. If you are using a mouse, the mouse wheel also can be used for changing the controller value.
   −
When clicking (tapping/touching) the topbar, a "back" event is triggered. It's a quick & dirty fix and probably it will change in the future, but meanwhile it will enable you to fully control Zynthian using the touchscreen if you don't have knob hardware.
