The last option, ''All Notes/Sounds Off'', can be triggered by bold clicking CTRL-1 (layer) from the layer screen (contextual action). You can trigger this actions from any point in the workflow by simply bold-clicking CTRL-1 twice. You can also add a ''panic-button'' to your zynthian using the extra pins from the AllInOne circuit or the Zynscreen. [[Adding Extra Switches|Read this for a detailed explanation about how to add a panic button to your Zynthian]].

Having several layers in the same MIDI channel is not allowed. If you want two or more layers playing unison (like being in the same MIDI channel), you should use the "Clone" feature, which allow you to bind several layers while keeping MIDI CCs and other MIDI messages (Program Change, Channel Pressure, etc.) independent.
