===MIDI input===

Each chain receive MIDI input from selected devices (keyboards and other MIDI controllers). You can configure the MIDI input devices from the chain's option menu. Use short-push for selecting the devices and bold-push for changing the input mode. All input devices are selected by default when creating a new chain.

Chains receive MIDI input from a set of devices (keyboards and other MIDI controllers) that can be configured for each chain separately. Each input device can work in 2 different modes:

Each input device can work in 2 different modes:

When an MIDI input device is configured in ACTI mode, the '''active chain''' (the highlighted/selected chain) receives all MIDI input from it and all MIDI events are translated to the active chain's MIDI channel. It's the default mode for all input devices. When using ACTI mode you don't need to worry about the MIDI channel your keyboard/controller is using. You change the instrument you play by changing the active chain in your zynthian (see below).

* '''ACTI:''' the active chain receives all MIDI input from the device and all MIDI events are translated to the active chain's MIDI channel. It's the default mode for all input devices.

* '''MULTI:''' each chain receives MIDI from the input device in the configured MIDI channel. No MIDI channel translation is done.

* Active MIDI channel => '''Disabled''': Only the active chain receives MIDI input from the devices in ACTI mode. It's the default.

* Active MIDI channel => '''Enabled''': All chains with the same MIDI channel that the active chain receive MIDI input from the devices in ACTI mode. This is very useful for layering sounds without any extra routing. You simply create several synth chains, assigning the same MIDI channel to all of them and they will play unison. You can also create keyboard splits with by adjusting note range and transpose for each chain from the chain options menu.

When using ACTI mode you don't need to worry about the MIDI channel your keyboard/controller is using. You change the instrument you play by changing the active chain in your zynthian (see below).  

When an MIDI input device is configured in MULTI mode, only chains matching the device's MIDI channel will receive MIDI from the device. No MIDI channel translation is performed. MULTI mode allows receiving and managing separately every MIDI channel. Each MIDI controller drives the chains assigned to the controller's MIDI channel. If you are using an external sequencer or a MIDI controller that can sequence multiple tracks (Beatstep Pro, Keystep Pro, Novation Circuit etc.), you may want to use ACTI mode.

In the other hand, MULTI mode allows receiving and managing separately every MIDI channel. Each MIDI controller will drive the chains assigned to the controller's MIDI channel. If you are using a MIDI controller that can sequence multiple tracks (Beatstep Pro, Keystep Pro, Novation Circuit etc.), you will generally want to use this mode.

You can configure the chain's MIDI input devices from the chain's option menu. Use short-push for selecting/unselecting devices and bold-push for accessing the device options. All input devices are selected by default when creating a new chain.  

The active chain is the chain currently selected. This is specially important when using the ACTI mode (the default mode!).

From the mixer, you can change the active chain by <span class="show_only_v5">rotating the '''knob#4''' or using the '''left/right arrows'''</span><span class="show_only_v4">rotating the '''SELECT knob'''</span><span class="show_only_touch">touching the chain's strip fader</span>.

Finally, you can also change the active chain by recalling ZS3s (subsnapshots).
