Pad Assignment

Has anyone programmed their zynth to save sounds on their midi pads?
Kind of like you can do with Ableton and a Novation launchpad?
It would be nice to move from one saved sound to another on the fly.

Do you mean sth we discuss here?

Hi @Clumsy07!

If your controller is configurable enough, you could assign “bank” and “program” change commands to your pads. This is a way of “changing” the sound for the layers associated to the MIDI channel your controller is talking to.

The new feature we are discussing and implementing is for “loading snapshots”, that is a completely “different way” of changing the sounds. A snapshot is a Zynthian’s status dump. It’s a set of layers, each one associated to a synth engine and MIDI channel, with assigned bank, program and MIDI-CC values. @mheidt has linked the discussion in his answer above.

Regards!
