If you bold-press the select switch, the "Layer Options" menu will be opened for the selected layer. This menu allows to:
* change the assigned MIDI Channel
* transpose the layer up and down, by semitones.
* route the layer's engine audio output to MOD-UI audio input, for audio processing
* delete the layer

Click the snapshot switch for entering the Load Snapshot screen. Another click and you will be in the Save Snapshot screen. You can also use bold-click for going directly to the Save Snapshot screen.
Obviously, before loading any snapshot, you should save some of them. Snapshot are organized in banks, so if you don't have any bank, you should create one.
Zynthian UI will use numbers for naming the banks and snapshots. Later, from the webconf tool you can rename the banks and snapshots to something more explicit.
If you want to go up one level, from snapshots to banks, you should use the ".." entry in the list. Back button wont work here.
