Changes

The V5 knobs behave quite differently to V1-V4 knobs. Because of the 20 silicone buttons, there is no need to use the knobs' switches to navigate the UI which now is best achieved with the push buttons, so when appropriate, knobs' switches have been mapped to drive the MIDI learning functionality, which is quite intuitive. The knobs are numbered from top to bottom, so the top one is knob#1 and the bottom one is knob#4. We will refer knobs in this way throughout this guide.

Although knob's functionality is now more contextual, there is a kind of pattern that can serve as a general guide:

Although knob's functionality is now more contextual, there is a kind of pattern that can serve as a ''general rule'':

  When not in the control screen, knob #4 acts as the ''select'' knob similar to the classic V1-V4 UI. It can be used for browsing lists and moving the cursor horizontally in grids (zynpad, pattern editor, etc.). Pushing the knob#4 can usually be used for selecting items in a similar way to the SELECT button. Knob#3 can be used for moving the cursor vertically in grids (zynpad, pattern editor, etc.).
