Zynthian can be connected to almost any existing MIDI device and you can use the MIDI learning mechanism, as described in the [Zynthian_UI_User_Guide_-_V1/V4|UI user's guide], to assign parameters to faders and knobs in your MIDI controller, for instance. You could also assign pad trigger to notes, etc. But MIDI learning process takes time, it's limiting and you can't get feedback easily. Sometimes it's a lot better to plug a well-known (supported) MIDI controller and get everything mapped automatically. For having this, zynthian implements a controller driver API that allows developers to create specific drivers for specific devices.

This section contain documentation for some of this controller drivers.

Note:

This documentation is valid for the "chain_manager" development branch. It's only partially valid for the current testing branch so you could find some differences.

This device supports two operation modes:
