Zynthian has a step sequencer which provides methods to create patterns and arrange them into sequences.
Zynthian has a step sequencer which provides methods to create patterns and arrange them into sequences.
There are three main views:
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:

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.

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.
