Presets (instruments or sound designs or patches) for a synth engine are grouped/organized into banks. Choose a bank to see the list of presets you can pick from in that bank.

= UI with only a touch screen and no encoders=
You can navigate and control the Zynthian UI without encoders/switches at all, only touchscreen.
You can "emulate" the switches by pushing in the controller widgets. There are short, bold and long actions. Exactly the same workflow than ever. When the "back" widget is not available, you can go back by clicking the top bar.
You can "emulate" the switches by tapping the controller widgets (squares in the 4 corners of a Controller screen). There are short, bold and long actions. Exactly the same workflow as with hardware knobs. When the "back" widget is not available, you can go back by tapping the top bar.
You can change the values of the controllers by "sliding" over the widgets. This is the same as turning the knob.
When clicking (touching) the topbar, a "back" event is triggered. It's quick&dirty fix and probably it will change in the future, but meanwhile it will allow to have a basic functionality using the touchscreen without controllers. [[File:Topbar.png]]
