When you create a chain, you must choose a '''type''' for it:

The chain's type can't be changed after creating the chain. Processors can be added, removed and positioned within the chain.

−'''Synth and MIDI chains''' must have a '''MIDI channel''' assigned. MIDI channels are not exclusive, so you can assign the same MIDI channel to several chains.
+'''Synth and MIDI chains''' have a '''MIDI channel''' assigned. MIDI channels are not exclusive, so you can assign the same MIDI channel to several chains.
In '''MIDI+Audio chains''', all audio processors in the chain receive all the MIDI events in the assigned channel. This is very convenient for some processors, like vocoder and auto-tune ones.

'''MIDI chains''' can be configured to receive '''all MIDI channels'''. This is specially useful when using zynthian as a MIDI router.

+====Type of processors====
+There are five fundamental types of processor
+<br>
+* '''Synth''' => Receives MIDI events and generates audio output.
+* '''MIDI''' => Receives MIDI events and generates MIDI output.
+* '''Audio''' => Receives audio input and generates audio output.
+* '''Generator''' => Generates audio output and has no input.
+* '''Special''' => Recieves MIDI events and audio input and generates MIDI output and audio output.
+
+Each type of processor is catagorised to ease user selection, e.g. Synths have categories: Synth, Sampler, Piano, Organ, Acoustic & Percussion.
+
+Each processor has parameters that may be controlled with zynthian knobs or mapped to MIDI CC messages. Processors may have presets that may be arranged in banks.
