You can map "SubSnapshots" (ZS3) to MIDI programs. The idea behind this feature is to have a fast preset-change mechanism that can be used on stage. In combination with the “Single 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.
A ZS3 (SubSnapShot) saves the state of the active layer. When recalled, this state is restored and the active layer is changed.
Every ZS3 includes:
- Layer ID
- Bank Name
- Preset Name
- Controller Values
When a set of layers are created (i.e. loading a snapshot), ZS3 changing is very fast, as no engine have to be started. It take less than 1 second in most of cases.

Learning a SubSnapShot is obscenely easy:
Learning a SubSnapShot is obscenely easy:
'''1.''' From the control screen, you click the snapshot button '''twice'''. You will see the current list of ZS3s and a message: “Waiting for Program Change…”
'''1.''' From the Control screen, click the snapshot button '''twice'''. You will see the current list of ZS3s and a message: “Waiting for Program Change…”
'''2.''' Push a “Program Change” button in your keyboard/controller and the ZS3 will be stored in memory, associated with the Program Number you pushed.
After that, you can recall the stored ZS3 by pushing the same Program Change button again. Of course, stored ZS3s will be saved with your snapshot and restored on load.
You can update and delete stored ZS3s by bold-clicking on the list. An options menu will be shown.
ZS3 bahavior depends of the "Single Active Layer" option:
* '''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.
* '''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.
