Layers are a key concept on Zynthian-UI: the first thing you do when you power-on your zynthian is create a layer ;-)
Layers are a key concept on Zynthian-UI: the first thing you do when you power-on your zynthian is create a layer.
A layer is an '''Audio Processing Chain''', normally assigned to a MIDI channel, that can be composed of one or several Audio Processing Units. This units are chained by default, although you can customize the audio routing. The first unit in a layer is the '''root''' and determines the layer's type:
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 by default, although you can customize the audio routing. The first unit in a layer is the '''root''' which determines the layer's type:
* '''Synth Layer''' => Receives MIDI note-events and generate audio output.
* '''Synth Layer''' => Receives MIDI note-events and generate audio output.
* '''FX Layer''' => Receives audio-input and generates audio-output.
* '''FX Layer''' => Receives audio-input and generates audio-output.
* '''Generator Layer''' => Auto-generate audio output using some algorithm.
* '''Generator Layer''' => Auto-generate audio output using an algorithm.
* '''Special Layer''' => MOD-UI pedalboard, Pure Data patch, etc.
* '''Special Layer''' => MOD-UI pedalboard, Pure Data patch, etc.
The rest of units in a layer normally are FX units that process the audio coming-out from the first unit (root).
The rest of units in a layer are usually FX units which process the audio coming from the first unit (root).
All units in a layer receive all the MIDI events coming from the assigned channel. Some special layers (MOD-UI) don't have an assigned MIDI channel and receive all MIDI channels.
