The Zynthian User Interface is formed by 4 rotary encoders with switch and one TFT display.
+
==Beginers==
The encoders/switches are used to navigate between the different screens, select options (channels, banks, presets, ...) and change the instrument parameters, acting as a MIDI/OSC controller.
     −
Currently there are two screen patterns:
+
'''[[Building_a_Zynthian_Box_using_an_official_Kit_v3#First_Boot|First Steps]]''': ''A brief tutorial on basic UI usage''
   −
- '''Selector''': a list of items that you can scroll and select with the SELECT(4) encoder/switch
+
'''[[Quick Start]]''': ''A beginners tutorial on how to make a piano snapshot''
- '''Controller''': In the corners, 4 control widgets (one for each encoder/switch), with label and value indicator (graphic and numeric). In the middle, a list of controller sets (screens) to which you can change or rotate using the SELECT(4) encoder/switch.
     −
There are 3 types of clicks (press):

==User Guides: The 4 interfaces==
   −
- '''short:''' inferior than 0.3 seconds
+
Zynthian has 4 user interfaces that we have documented separately:
- '''bold:''' between 0.3 and 2 seconds
  −
- '''long:''' major than 2 seconds
     −
The short click is used to rotate between channels (CHAN(1)) or between controller sets (SELECT(4)). For better understanding, see the next flowchart:
