Pressing the Back knob, when you are in the Layer List screen, brings you to the Admin menu. The last item is how you safely power off the Zynthian without corrupting data files.

This allows you to easily connect any parameter in the Zynthian UI to any CC knob/slider on an external MIDI controller. (I intend to extend this feature to other MIDI messages, but currently only CC messages are supported.) Anyway, MIDI filter rules can handle any special cases, so it’s not an urgent task.

This works with ALL the engines, using the engine’s native MIDI-learning capabilitywhen available (and convenient) or the Zynthian’s MIDI-learning mechanism, within the MIDI filter. To be more explicit, native MIDI-learning is used for MOD-UI and for ZynAddSubFX OSC parameters. All the MIDI-mapped parameters are managed by the Zynthian’s MIDI-learning mechanism.

You get on-screen feedback during the learning process. When you enable MIDI-learning for a parameter, a small green text displaying "??" appears at the bottom of the controller/parameter area in the Zynthian UI. When the parameter is connected to a CC, the number of the assigned CC is shown in the same place.
