==Audio Record Menu==
+
From the Admin menu you can access to the Audio & MIDI recording tools. These 2 simple tools allows you to record Audio & MIDI tracks easily, using the internal SD-card or an USB memory stick for storing the files.

     −
Pressing the Start Recording Item will start the recording.
+
'''WARNING!''' Using the internal SD card for storing the captured files increase the risk of corruption. You should avoid it by simply plugging an USB memory stick instead.

2. The red circle should appear in the top-right status area, indicating that a recording is going on.
   −
Once recording has stopped the recorded file will be displayed as jack_capture_01
+
3. Press "Stop Recording" for finishing the capture. The red circle will disappear and the recorded file will be added to the list. The filename is generated automatically and should be something like "jack_capture_01". The prefix "SDC" or "USB" indicates where the file is stored.
−
These are wav files and can be accessed from the webconf samples section.

===Playing===
    +
You can play files by simply selecting and clicking the file. The "play" symbol will be displayed in the UI status area.
 +
For looping the file, turn on the "Loop Play" switch before playing.
    +
'''NOTE:''' You can play a file in any moment. Recording and playing can take place simultaneously.
    +
===Deleting===
 +
 +
A bold press will delete the selected file, but you will be asked to confirm the action.
 +
 +
===Managing recordings from your computer===
 +
 +
Audio & MIDI recordings can be managed from your computer by accessing the webconf's captures section. From this section you can:
 +
 +
* rename recordings
 +
* delete recordings
 +
* downloading recordings to your computer
 +
* reproduce the audio recordings in your browser, if it supports wav file playing.
 +
 +
It is a good idea to rename your recordings so that they can be easily identified.

  2. In the parameter/controller area, slide with your fingernail from '''right to left'''. The tiny number, indicating the current CC assignment, should disappear or change. If the parameter is an engine-specific controlled engine, the number will disappear. If the parameter is a hardcoded MIDI-mapped parameter, then the number will change.

=CUIA: Callable UI Actions=
 +
 +
The Zynthian UI can be controlled remotely using a set of commands called CUIA: Callable UI Actions. These CUIA are available on several interfaces: Key Bindings, MIDI, OSC, etc.
 +
 +
==Key Bindings: Controlling the UI with a computer keyboard==
 +
 +
The user interface may be driven using a USB keyboard, e.g. QWERTY, Dvorak, etc.

==Controlling the UI with MIDI messages==
 +
 +
These actions are available using MIDI messages on the Master Channel (default 16, but configurable with the webconf tool), specifically, note-on messages (0x9) are used so you can use a MIDI keyboard for controlling the Zynthian UI. For instance, to Power Off the zynthian, you send this message:
 +
 +
0x9F  ( Channel 16 Note ON)
 +
0x00  ( Note code for POWER_OFF as below )
 +
0x00  (Velocity/parameter)
 +
 +
or play the A-3 key, if your keyboard have it ;-)
 +
