By default Zynthian starts in multitimbral mode. Each external MIDI controller will drive the chain that is assigned to that controller's MIDI channel, e.g. a chain assigned to MIDI channel 1 will listen for MIDI messages on MIDI channel 1 only<sup>*</sup>.

By default Zynthian starts in '''stage mode'''. Stage mode is a kind of "Omni-On" mode, what means all MIDI messages are sent to the selected chain in your zynthian. You don't need to worry about the MIDI channel your keyboard/controller is using. You can change the instrument you play by selecting it in your zynthian or using ZS3's Programs Change feature (see below).

In the other hand, '''multitimbral mode''' allows receiving and managing separately every MIDI channel. Each external MIDI controller will drive the chain that is assigned to that controller's MIDI channel, e.g. a chain assigned to MIDI channel 1 will listen for MIDI messages on MIDI channel 1 only<sup>*</sup>.
    
<sup>*</sup>MIDI Continuous Controllers are handled differently. See section on [[#MIDI-learning_.2F_binding|MIDI Learning & binding]].

Stage Mode changes the behaviour of Zynthian so that all MIDI messages are sent to the currently selected chain. This allows multiple external MIDI controllers to drive one chain at a time.
