Samples are stored as audio files in the internal '''capture''' directory and on any USB attached storage. Many audio file formats are supported including wav, aac, mp3, ogg, flac. Files are loaded using the standard zynthian preset loading procedure. There are banks for each physical location and a list of presets for each supported audio file.

To start recording audio, press the transport record button. To stop recording, press the transport record button or stop button. If the control view for a zynsampler processor is shown then the recording will loaded into the processor, otherwise a *global recording* is made which is not displayed but available for immediate replay (see below). There is a '''record''' control in zynsampler control view that toggles audio recorder.

Note: There is only one audio recorder. Starting the audio recorder from anywhere acts on the same, single recorder.

By default, zynthian records to a fixed 16-bit stereo audio WAV file at zynthian's current samplerate (48000fps by default). There is an option in each chain option, audio output menu to "Record Audio". If any is enabled then zynthian will record a multitrack audio file with a stereo pair of tracks for each enabled chain.

===Playback===

By default, the whole audio file is replayed from the start until the end at which point it stops playback. This behaviour can be modified in various ways.

====Looping====

====Looping====

There is a control to enable '''looping'''. When enabled, playback will play until the loop-end marker then restart from the loop-start marker. There is a control to adjust the position of the loop markers or they can be dragged on a touchscreen or with a mouse.

====Cropping====

====Cropping====

The start and end of playback may be changed with the '''in''' and '''out''' crop markers. This is non-destructive, i.e. the audio is not removed, only the greyed out sections are not played. Use the crop controls or drag the crop markers on a touchscreen or with a mouse.

====Channel routing====

====Channel routing====

Zynsampler has a stereo output but can handle samples of any quantity of channels. There are two controls (left/right track) which allow the selection of what gets played out of each output. The specific channel may be selected or "mixdown" which will mix all the odd tracks (for left output) or the even tracks (for right output).

===Splicing===

===Splicing===

There is another MIDI trigger mode called '''splicing'''. Each MIDI note (ascending from the base note) plays a splice of the sample. Splices are defined by cue markers. Playing a MIDI note will play from the associated cue marker until the next cue marker. Cue markers can be added/removed from the marker menu (double tap the waveform). They can be selected with the cue controller and moved with the cue pos controller. Like all markers, they can be dragged on a touchscreen.

There is a control to adjust the '''beats''' in the sample. This may be used to synchronise the sample with sequencer playback. If the beats has been set to a non-zero value, the marker menu has an option to create that quantity of equally spaced cue markers.
