This richer interface allows to simplify navigation and reduce the number of "clicks", which improves workflow and makes it faster and more intuitive.

Most operations may be performed with the touchscreen but some may not be intuitive or easy to perform with it. On the other hand, some operations are specially optimized for using the touch screen. This will be detailed when explaining the different screens and workflows.

Like the classic zynthian UI, there are 3 types of push actions that can be performed, depending on how long you hold down the button (or knob!):

The push buttons grid is divided in 5 groups:

The push buttons grid is divided in 5 groups:

{{NoteBox|When not in the control screen, '''knob#4 acts as the ''select'' knob''' similar to the classic V1-V4 UI. Rotate to browse lists and move the cursor horizontally in grids (zynpad, pattern editor, etc.). Push to select items, same than SELECT button. Knob#3 can be used to move the cursor vertically in grids (zynpad, pattern editor, etc.).}}

{{NoteBox|Although all buttons and switches are fully configurable from the webconf tool (''hardware->wiring->advanced''), this guide refers to the official V5 profile configuration, that matches printed button legends. Of course, you are very welcome to experiment with button assignment and try different configurations. In fact, if you reach a sweet point, we may be able to produce an alternative keypad with custom printings. Simply contact us at the [https://discourse.zynthian.org zynthian forum]!}}
