This mode allows you to '''control the Zynthian UI'''. You can enable it by pressing <code>SHIFT</code> + <code>DEVICE</code>. If this mode is active, the button <code>DEVICE</code> will blink in red.
As you can see in the image, this mode mimics the Zynthian V5 hardware interface. The upper four buttons are <code>OPT/ADMIN</code>, <code>MIX/LEVEL</code>, <code>CTRL/PRESET</code> and <code>ZS3/SHOT</code>. Next row is <code>ALT</code>, <code>METRONOME</code> and <code>PAD/STEP</code>. The four buttons in the right side (in white) are <code>F1</code> to <code>F4</code>. In this mode, transport is handled by <code>PLAY/PAUSE</code> and <code>RECORD</code> buttons, and the pads are only to show playback/recording status. Navigation buttons are <code>UP</code>, <code>DOWN</code>, <code>LEFT</code>, <code>RIGHT</code>, (in yellow) <code>BACK/NO</code> (in red) and <code>SEL/YES</code> (in green). For the directional keys, you can also use the track keys labelled as such.
The behaviour and status are '''similar of those in the hardware interface''': there is support for short, bold and long press; screen access buttons are blue when no function is selected, green on it's primary and orange on its secondary function; ALT key changes to violet when active (and <code>F1</code>-<code>F4</code> also change).
The nearest four knobs has the functions of '''Knob#1''' to '''Knob#4'''. They can be used to control volume of selected/main chain, move vertically/horizontally in pattern editor or Zynpad, move selected item in menus, etc. The knob press is activated using the first four soft keys to the left (in green), and also has short/bold press support.
