1 Zynthian File Formats
1.1 zss Snapshot File
This is the basic file format of the zynthian, termed the Snapshot. It holds an entire state of all chains of the machine that can be restored entirely. It will load all chains settings and more importantly load up the Engines, the sequencer, Audio Files and their status, so for instance, if a snapshot is stored containing a playing audio file it will restart playing when the snapshot is loaded and this includes starting up from Power off.. .
