The Zynthian UI is displayed on a display and controlled by 4 knobs (rotary-encoders with push-switches). You can also control the UI with a touch-display, a mouse or a keyboard (computer keyboard or MIDI keyboard, both!)
Anyway, the 4 knobs+switches are the primary control mechanism used to navigate the UI: selecting options on menus and adjust the instrument parameters. The knobs can act as assignable MIDI/OSC controllers for the instrument's parameters (frequently lots of them!). You can emulate the knob's behavior using the touch-display, but it's sub-optimal and accessing some features could be tricky.

==Layers==
Layers are a key concept on Zynthian-UI: the first thing you do when you power-on your zynthian is, probably, create a layer.
Layers are a key concept on Zynthian-UI: the first thing you do after poweron your zynthian is, probably, create a layer.
A layer is an '''Audio Processing Chain''', normally assigned to a MIDI channel, which can be composed of one or more Audio Processing Units. These units are chained in the same order they are created, but you can change the order from the '''Layer Options''' menu. The first unit in a layer is the '''root''' and it determines the layer's type:
A layer is a '''Processing Chain''', normally assigned to a MIDI channel, which can be composed of one or more Audio or MIDI Processing Units. These units are chained in the same order they are created, but you can change the order from the '''Layer Options''' menu. The first unit in a layer is the '''root''' and it determines the layer's type:
* '''Synth Layer''' => Receives MIDI note-events and generate audio output.
* '''Synth Layer''' => Receives MIDI note-events and generate audio output.
* '''FX Layer''' => Receives audio-input and generates audio-output.
* '''Audio FX Layer''' => Receives audio-input and generates audio-output.
* '''MIDI FX Layer''' => Receives MIDI-input and generates MIDI-output.
* '''Generator Layer''' => Auto-generate audio output using an algorithm.
* '''Generator Layer''' => Auto-generate audio output using an algorithm.
* '''Special Layer''' => MOD-UI pedalboard, Pure Data patch, etc.
* '''Special Layer''' => MOD-UI pedalboard, Pure Data patch, etc.
The rest of units in a layer are usually FX units which process the audio coming from the first unit (root).
The root layer can't be re-arranged or changed. When you create pure Audio-FX layers, it's a good idea to use a "Gain" unit as root element, so you can re-arrange/change all the other elements on the chain.
All units in a layer receive all the MIDI events coming from the assigned channel. Some special layers (MOD-UI) don't have an assigned MIDI channel and receive all MIDI channels.

If you bold-click the select switch over a layer from the list, the "Layer Options" menu will be displayed for the selected layer. This menu allows you to:
* '''Clone MIDI to...''' => clone the '''layer's MIDI channel''' messages to other MIDI channels. Note that only note on/off, pitch-bending, and key-press messages are cloned, while the rest are kept independent by default (CC, channel-pressure, program change, ...). You can select what CC will be cloned by bold-clicking on the channel list.

* '''Audio Routing''' => route the '''layer's''' audio output to the available audio input ports, allowing to process the audio in almost any way you can imagine. You can use this feature for creating your own customized/bizarre FX chains. If this is not enough for you, try MOD-UI engine with the MOD-UI web GUI.

* '''Add Audio-FX''' => Add an Audio-FX unit to the layer's audio chain.
* '''Remove All AUdio-FX''' => Clean the Audio-FX chain, deleting all the audio effect units.
* '''Audio-FX List''' => The list of audio effects on the layer's chain.
* '''Add MIDI-FX''' => Add a MIDI-FX to the layer's chain. If the layer is a Synth layer, the MIDI-FX will be inserted just before the synth engine.

A ZS3 (SubSnapShot) saves the state of the active layer in the context of the current snapshot (layer layout). When recalled, the saved state is restored and the active layer is changed.

Once a set of layers has been created (i.e. loading a snapshot), ZS3 loading is very fast in comparison with loading snapshots, as no engine have to be started. It take less than 1 second in most of cases, and you can map ZS3s to MIDI programs very easily using MIDI learning.

The idea behind this feature is to have a fast preset-change mechanism that can be used on stage. In combination with the “Single Active Layer” feature, it turns Zynthian in a “Stage-Beast”. You can prepare a snapshot for the full performance, and use ZS3 for fast changing from a song to another, or between parts inside the same song.

ZS3 bahavior depends of the "Single Active Layer" option:
ZS3 behavior depends of the mode your zynthian is working on:
* '''Single Active Layer Enabled''': ZS3 list shows all the ZS3s stored, no matter the layer. Recalling a ZS3 change the active layer, so the layer associated with the recalled ZS3 will receive the *ALL* the MIDI input. Only 127 ZS3s can be stored.
* '''Stage Mode''': ZS3 list shows all the ZS3s stored, no matter the layer. Recalling a ZS3 changes the active layer, so the layer associated with the recalled ZS3 will receive *ALL* the MIDI input. Only 127 ZS3s can be stored.
* '''Single Active Layer Disabled''': ZS3 list shows only the ZS3 of the current active layer. Recalling a ZS3 change the active layer, but every layer receives MIDI input for its channel only. You can use several keyboards on different channels and store 127 ZS3s by MIDI channel.
* '''Multi-timbral Mode''': ZS3 list shows the ZS3 of the currently active layer only. Recalling a ZS3 changes the active layer, but every layer receives MIDI input from its channel. You can use several keyboards on different channels and store 127 ZS3s by MIDI channel.

The '''ALSA Mixer''' app is a pseudo-layer that allows to adjust the soundcard output/input levels and other audio-hardware related options. Technically speaking, it's a user interface for the ALSA (Audio Linux Sound Architecture) mixer.
The '''Audio Levels''' screen allows to adjust the soundcard output/input levels and other audio-hardware related options. Technically speaking, it's a GUI for the ALSA (Audio Linux Sound Architecture) mixer.
For accessing the '''ALSA-Mixer''' app, you have 2 options:
For accessing the '''ALSA-Mixer''' app, you have 2 options:
* Selecting "ALSA-Mixer" option from the Main menu
* Selecting "Audio Levels" option from the Main menu

* '''Long-pushing the snapshot knob (CTRL-3)'''
You can configure the Audio Level controllers from the webconf's hardware->audio menu. Simply click the '''+''' button on the "Mixer Controls" text area.

==Step Sequencer==
Zynthian has a step sequencer which provides methods to create patterns and arrange them into sequences.
The step sequencer may be accessed from the main screen or by clicking long-LAYER.
* There may be up to 999 patterns, each with as many simultaneous notes (polphonic) as required over a set of steps and beats that are configurable for each pattern.
* Patterns are arranged into tracks within sequences.
* Sequences may be configured to loop or play once and may be grouped so that starting one sequence stops another. Sequences may start and stop at the start of each bar.
* Note entry can be performed from the Zynthian user interface or using an external MIDI controller.
* Sequences can be started and stopped from the Zynthian user interface or using an external MIDI controller.
These are three main views:

===Touchscreen Calibration===
Zynthian supports touchscreen operation for most operations. To ensure good alignment of the touch interface there is a calibration screen that is accessed from the Admin menu.
[[File:Touchscreen_calibration_1.png|400px|right]]
When the screen opens it shows a target crosshair in the center of the screen and a countdown timer. If the timer expires the screen will close without applying any calibration. Touch the target to detect the screen and begin calibration.
<br clear=all>
[[File:Touchscreen_calibration_2.png|400px|right]]
The name of the detected display is shown at the bottom of the screen. Further targets will appear. Touch the screen, drag to centre of target and release.
When the screen is pressed the target will show red. When released the measurement is taken and the next crosshair target appears white.
<br clear=all>
[[File:Touchscreen_calibration_3.png|400px|right]]
After releasing the last target, calibration is applied and the screen closes. Touch is ignored if too close to previous touch.
Use BACK button or wait for timeout to cancel calibration. Timer is reset to 15s when screen is touched and paused until released. The purpose of the timeout is to avoid users of Zynthians without back button being stuck in calibration screen view.
