The zynthian V5 physical user interface is composed, from left to right, of:
 +
 +
* '''5x4 push button grid with RGB-LED feedback'''
 +
* '''5 inch display with capacitive touch'''
 +
* '''4 infinite knobs (rotary encoders) with switches'''
 +
 +
This richer interface allows to simplify navigation and reduce the number of "clicks", what improves workflow and makes it faster and more intuitive.
 +
 +
The 20 silicone push buttons and the 4 knobs with switches are the primary control mechanism to navigate the UI:
 +
 +
* '''accessing the different screens'''
 +
* '''selecting options on menus and lists'''
 +
* '''adjusting parameters'''
 +
 +
Most operations may be performed with the touchscreen but some may not be intuitive or easy to perform with it. In the other hand, some operations are specially optimized for using the touch screen. This will be detailed when explaining the different screens and workflows.

The key difference with the "classic" zynthian UI is the big silicone button grid, what adds 20 push buttons with RGB LED feedback, allowing huge improvements in  usability. Let's take a closer look to this.

The silicone button grid can be divided in several groups:
 +
 +
* Screen access buttons
 +
* blabla

* blabla

<br clear=all>
    
Some buttons have several functions assigned while some have contextual functions that depends of the current screen. All of them shine on different colors depending of context.
