If many, you should hear clicks and pops too. − − * When the '''Red Lightning''' or '''Red Thermometer''' 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 system crash. 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). − − * Finally, the '''Red Circle''' and '''Green Play''' flags show the status of audio/MIDI capture: recording / playing

|'''MIDI-IN'''
|It's shown when MIDI messages are received.

|'''XRun'''
|It's shown when there are Xruns. If many, you should hear clicks and pops too. This means the CPU can't process audio fast enough and you should consider disabling some CPU-hungry option (like VNC, headphones, etc.) or reducing the complexity of your layer setup.

|'''Under-voltage'''
| Zynthian is working in a degraded state, with the CPU frequency capped to 600-800 MHz, trying to stabilize the system and avoid a system crash. You shouldn't see that icon and if you do so, you should consider looking for a better power source.

|'''Over-temperature'''
|Zynthian is working in a degraded state, with the CPU frequency capped to 600-800 MHz, trying to stabilize the system and avoid a system crash. You shouldn't see that icon and if you do so, you should improve heat dissipation (using a heat sink, etc.)

===The Peak-meter===
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.
