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.

* '''NEW Synth Layer''' => Create a Synthesizer Layer.
* '''NEW Synth Layer''' => Create a Synthesizer Layer.
* '''NEW Audio-FX Layer''' => Create an audio-FX Layer that will be connected to soundcard's Audio Capture. You can route the audio output from other layers to the input of an Audio-FX layer.
* '''NEW Audio-FX Layer''' => Create an audio-FX Layer that will be connected to soundcard's Audio Capture. You can route the audio output from other layers to the input of an Audio-FX layer.
* '''NEW MIDI-FX Layer''' => Create a MIDI-FX Layer to proccess MIDI events. You can route the MIDI output from a MIDI-FX layer to the MIDI input of any other unit or to the zynthian's MIDI output.
* '''NEW MIDI-FX Layer''' => Create a MIDI-FX Layer to process MIDI events. You can route the MIDI output from a MIDI-FX layer to the MIDI input of any other unit or to the zynthian's MIDI output.
* '''NEW Generator Layer''' => Create a new Generator Layer that self-generates audio.
* '''NEW Generator Layer''' => Create a new Generator Layer that self-generates audio.
* '''NEW Special Layer''' => Create a new Special Layer (MOD-UI, Pure Data, ...).
