You can enter the ''Load Snapshot'' screen by clicking the snapshot switch. From the control screen you have to use bold-click. A second click and you will be at the ''Save Snapshot'' screen. You can also use bold-click to go directly to the Save Snapshot screen (not from control screen!).
You can enter the ''Load Snapshot'' screen with '''bold-snapshot'''. It works from any place. A second click and you will be at the ''Save Snapshot'' screen.
Before loading any snapshot, you should save one, and to save a snapshot, you should create some layers, etc. The Zynthian UI will use numbers for naming the banks and snapshots. You can rename the snapshots to something more specific using the webconf tool.

====Restore Last State====
If "Restore last state on startup" option is enabled on webconf (it's enabled by default), then the state will be saved when powering off (using long-click select or from Admin Menu) and restored on next boot. This option has priority over the "Default Snapshot".

These simple tools allow you to record Audio & MIDI tracks easily, using the internal SD-card or an USB memory stick for storing the files.
For accessing the Audio & MIDI recording tools:
* From the '''Main menu''', select Audio Recorder
* From any place, '''long-snapshot'''
When you are in, '''short-snapshot''' for switching between Audio & MIDI Recorder.
'''WARNING!''' Using the internal SD card to store the captured files will increase the risk of corruption. You should use a USB memory stick instead.
