I want to switch to the sequencer window with one press of a button and regardless from where I am in the Zynthian menu structure. Is this possible via OSC messages ? I had a look at the CUIA description in the manual, and found nothing except the “MODAL_STEPSEQ” command. Sending this command does nothing in my case. For clarification: All other OSC commands that I use do work without problems, so it’s not an OSC problem.
Hi @catherder! Yes, there are CUIA commands to directly access each view:
- SCREEN_MAIN
- SCREEN_ADMIN
- SCREEN_AUDIO_MIXER
- SCREEN_SNAPSHOT
- SCREEN_MIDI_RECORDER
- SCREEN_ALSA_MIXER
- SCREEN_ZYNPAD
- SCREEN_PATTERN_EDITOR
- SCREEN_ARRANGER
- SCREEN_BANK
- SCREEN_PRESET
- SCREEN_CALIBRATE
- SCREEN_CONTROL
- CHAIN_OPTIONS
- MENU
- PRESET
- PRESET_FAVS
You can also toggle a view by passing the view name to CUIA command TOGGLE_VIEW.
You can show a view by name by passing the view name to CUIA command SHOW_VIEW.
I guess you have found MODAL_STEPSEQ on the wiki or somewhere? Maybe you would like to update that or at least point us to the wrong info.
I have no account for the wiki and user registration is disabled. However, these are the pages where the ‘MODAL’ call are still used:
https://wiki.zynthian.org/index.php/Zynthian_UI_Users_Guide#CUIA:_Callable_UI_Actions
They are in the “Controlling the UI with MIDI messages” section.

This pages uses ‘MODAL’ as well.
