Snapshot actions are also global and will work from any point in the workflow. If you click SNAPSHOT (3) once, you get the Load Snapshot menu, another click and you will be in the Save Snapshot menu. If you bold-click SNAPSHOT then you will go directly to the Save Snapshot screen. The Snapshot screen have 2 levels: bank selection (directory) and snapshot (file). These actions are better explained below.

On the top-right corner there is a small area where some useful information is shown in real time:
* CPU-load => A small horizontal bar on the top right.
* MIDI-IN => Green '''M''' flag
* Xrun => Red '''X''' flag
* Under-voltage => Red '''V''' flag
* Over-temperature => Red '''T''' flag
The CPU-load bar shows the CPU usage as calculated by the Jack Audio Server:
This is a running average of the time it takes to execute a full process cycle for all clients as a percentage of the real time available per cycle determined by the buffer size and sample rate.
The green M flag is shown when MIDI messages pass thru the MIDI router. Not all messages are detected. Only CC, Program Change and Note On/Off.
The red X flag is shown when there are Xruns. You should hear clicks and pops too ;-)
Finally, when the red V or T flag is shown, your zynthian is working in a degraded state, with the CPU frequency capped to 600-800 MHz, trying to stabilize the system and avoid a hang-up. You shouldn't see any of them and if you do so, you should consider looking for a better power source (under-voltage) or using a heat sink (over-temperature).
