When you create a new layer, you are asked about the engine synth you want to use for the new layer. You will see the list of synth engines to choose from. The zynthian logo on the right is animated while engine is being loaded.

Some engines have special behavior regarding layers and MIDI channels:

Some engines have special behavior regarding layers and MIDI channels:

* '''setBfree''': it ALWAYS creates 3 layers assigned to different MIDI channels (1, 2 & 3), each one corresponding to the upper, lower and pedals sections of the Hammond B3 emmulation.

* '''setBfree''': This engine ALWAYS creates 3 layers assigned to different MIDI channels (1, 2 & 3), each one corresponding to the upper, lower and pedals sections of the Hammond B3 emulation.

* '''Pianoteq''': Only one layer is allowed to be created, assigned to the MIDI channel you like.

* '''Pianoteq''': Only one layer is allowed to be created, assigned to the MIDI channel you choose.

* '''MOD_UI''': Only one layer is allowed to be created and it's assigned to ALL MIDI channels. If you want to filter the messages by channel, you can do it inside the MOD-UI patch. There are plans for improving this behavior.

* '''MOD_UI''': Only one layer is allowed to be created and it's assigned to ALL MIDI channels. If you want to filter the messages by channel, you can do it within the MOD-UI patch. (There are plans for improving this behavior.)

* '''PureData''': Only one layer is allowed to be created and it's assigned to ALL MIDI channels. If you want to filter the messages by channel, you can do it inside the PD patch. There are plans for improving this behavior.

* '''PureData''': Only one layer is allowed to be created and it's assigned to ALL MIDI channels. If you want to filter the messages by channel, you can do it within the PD patch. (There are plans for improving this behavior.)

* '''Aeolus''': NORMALLY it creates 4 layers assigned to different MIDI channels (1,2,3 & 4), each one corresponding to the 3 manuals + 1 pedal of the Aeolus default instrument definition. You can change the MIDI channel assignation from the Aeolus native UI. For using a different instrument definition you have to tweak the engine's code a little bit.
