Line 121: − − ===MIDI input=== − Chains receive MIDI data from a set of MIDI inputs. These MIDI inputs could be external MIDI devices connected to MIDI DIN-5 or USB MIDI (sequencers, keyboards and other MIDI controllers) or other MIDI sources (MIDI network services, internal sources like the built-in sequencer, etc.) and they can be configured for each chain separately. Each MIDI input can work in 2 different modes: − − ====Active mode==== − When a MIDI input is configured in active mode, the '''active chain''' (the highlighted or selected chain) receives all MIDI input from it and all MIDI events are translated to the active chain's MIDI channel. This is the default mode for all MIDI inputs. When using active mode you don't need to worry about the MIDI channel your keyboard or controller is using. You change which instruments are played by changing the active chain in your zynthian (see below). − − Active mode's behavior can be modified by the '''Active MIDI channel''' global flag ([[#Key_range_.26_transpose|see admin menu]]): − <br> − * Active MIDI channel '''Disabled''' => Only the active chain receives data from the MIDI input in active mode. This is the default setting. − * Active MIDI channel '''Enabled''' => All chains with the same MIDI channel as the active chain receive data from the MIDI input in active mode. This is very useful for layering sounds without any extra routing. You simply create several synth chains with the same MIDI channel and they will play in unison. You can also create keyboard splits by adjusting note range and transpose for each chain. − − ====Multitimbral mode==== − When a MIDI input is configured in multitimbral mode, only those chains matching the input's MIDI channel will receive data from this MIDI input. No MIDI channel translation is performed. Multitimbral mode allows receiving and managing each MIDI channel individually. Each MIDI input selects the chains it drives using the 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 multitimbral mode. − <br><br> − [[File:Active multi mode.png|MIDI input mode diagram|center]] − − − {{NoteBox|Note that MIDI CC (Continuous Controllers) events are handled differently and they are not routed to chains. See section on [[#MIDI-learning_.2F_binding|MIDI Learning & binding]].}} Line 147:
Line 128: − − ===Snapshots=== − − [[File:snapshot_structure.png|400px|right]] − − A snapshot is the captured state of zynthian at the time of saving the snapshot. Snapshots are saved in a JSON file with ''.zss'' extension and can be loaded at any time, which effectively restores the state of the zynthian device when the snapshot was saved. Snapshots include: − − * '''chains layout:''' configuration of each chain including its processors and how they are arranged and connected − * '''audio levels:''' (optional) physical audio interface settings − * '''sequencer:''' patterns & sequences − * '''MIDI settings:''' global MIDI settings, USB MIDI port names, etc.!! − * '''multitrack record settings:''' mixer strips armed for multitrack recording − * '''UI state:''' some user interface configuration relevant to the snapshot (most UI is configured globally) − * '''sub-snapshots (ZS3s):''' most other configuration ([[#Sub-snapshots: ZS3|see ZS3]]) − − Each time you overwrite an existing snapshot file, a backup copy is created. Backups can also be restored at any time, which can avoid much suffering. When you feel the panic, remember that zynthian stores the full ''save history'' for '''all''' snapshots! − − <br clear=all> − − {{NoteBox|Many zynthian users like to see snapshots as "zynthian project" files and it's not a a bad approach.}} Line 178:
Line 139: − − ===Sub-snapshots: ZS3=== − ZS3 means '''Z'''ynthian '''S'''ub-'''S'''nap'''S'''hot. A ZS3 is a partial state that is stored in memory and can be recalled very fast. ZS3s can easily be associated (learned) to MIDI Programs (program change events). Of course, all ZS3s are saved and restored with snapshots, including the default state of the snapshot when first loaded (ZS3-0). − − Please bear in mind that in the case of USB-connected MIDI devices there are two settings configured in admin under "MIDI-USB mapped by port" that affect this functionality. − With mapped to port set the learnt settings will apply only to the specific USB Configuration in place at the time of learning. So if you add a USB hub to the rig the ZS3 sub-snapshots won't act. − Turning this off will allow control simply by the MIDI message only. − − When in the ZS3 screen, you can save the current (sub)state to ZS3 by sending a Program Change from any MIDI controller. − − BUT In order to be able to change ZS3 by Program Change, you have to tick the box at − − '''Interface->MIDI-options->Program Change ZS3 (Program Change for SubSnapShots)''' − − ZS3s include: − − * '''chains configuration:''' for each chain, MIDI channel, note-range, transpose, etc. − * '''processors state:''' for each processor, bank, preset & parameter values − * '''mixer settings:''' for each mixer strip, fader, balance, mute, solo, etc. − * '''MIDI devices configuration:''' active / multitimbral mode, etc. − * '''MIDI & Audio routing:''' connections between chains − * '''MIDI learning:''' MIDI bindings to processor and mixer parameters − * '''global settings:''' some global settings that can be changed by ZS3, e.g. MIDI transpose (most global settings are not available to ZS3) − * '''active chain''': chain that was active when the ZS3 was saved − − The key concept to understand how ZS3s work is noting that the '''chains layout is not stored in ZS3s'''. In other words, the chains layout is not modified when restoring ZS3s. You can't add/remove chains or processors by restoring ZS3s because this is a slow operation and ZS3s need to be restored very fast. − − When loading a snapshot that contains ZS3s, all the chains and processors are created. Later, when recalling the ZS3s, the chains layout will remain the same. Although ZS3s can modify routing, splits, banks, presets, etc., the quantity of chains and processors will be unchanged. − − {{NoteBox|For instance, if you are keyboardist that plays with several bands, you could have a snapshot for each band with ZS3s for each song.}} − − <br clear=all> Line 705:
Line 634: − − ==Basic Views== − − ===Mixer=== − [[File:mixer_legend.jpg|800px|right]] − − The mixer view is a significant view in zynthian. It can be considered the ''Home'' view. It's composed of vertical strips associated with chains. Initially it will be empty, showing the main strip alone. For each chain you create, a new strip is added to the mixer. (There can be more mixer strips than can be displayed. They will scroll left / right if you select a strip that is off screen.) Each strip is an interactive widget that can be manipulated in several ways and it shows status info about the associated chain. From top to bottom: − − * '''solo:''' Solo flag. Press to toggle. This is a non-exclusive solo mode. When a chain has ''solo'' enabled, all other chains without solo enabled will be muted, allowing auditioning of one or more chains. The '''main''' solo will disable all chain solos. − − * '''mute:''' Mute flag. Press to toggle. When a chain is muted (it has "mute" enabled), it will remain silent. − − * '''fader:''' Mixing volume for the associated chain. Drag up & down to modify the fader level. On the touchscreen you can drag multiple faders at once. Tap it to set the active chain. − − * '''DPM:''' Digital Peak Meter for the associated chain. See [[#The_Digital_Audio_Peak_Meter_.28DPM.29|DPM section above]]. − − * '''description:''' A vertically oriented text describing the chain. By default, for a synth chain it will show synth processor and preset name. If you [[#Chain_options|give a name to the chain]], this will be included in the description too. − − * '''balance/pan:''' Mixing right/left balance (or pan of a mono signal) for the associated chain. Rotate knob#2 or drag left & right to modify the value. − − * '''legend''': It shows an icon for the chain's type and a number for the assigned MIDI channel.
