Instruction Manual

Clone Selected Branch

Use this menu to clone the currently selected branch so that all keys will play exactly

the same sound and the mod wheel will work identically for all keys. This function is

also easily available if you right-click a branch (or control-click on Mac).

Manipulate Genes

Choose this menu to open up the gene editor where you access and edit the ge-

nome of the sound seed. Clicking the Gene Manipulation button does exactly the

same.

MIDI Config…

This menu displays the MIDI Config Dialog which you use to edit settings concerning

how Synplant responds to and transmits MIDI. Read the separate section on the

MIDI Config Dialog further down for more info.

Reassign MIDI Controllers

This item opens the MIDI Controller Reassignment overlay. You can click the small

rounded boxes on top of the sliders, buttons etc to begin "learning". Turn a knob on

your MIDI controller and it will be mapped to the function in question. To reset a re-

assigned controller value to its default, simply click the box and then click some-

where else. To edit a controller value manually, click the box and drag the mouse up

or down. Drag it all the way down to remove the assignment entirely (this will be dis-

played as "---").

All controller assignments can be saved and loaded from the MIDI Config Dialog

window. You can also assign a default mapping that will automatically load every

time you start Synplant.

To exit this overlay, click once again on Reassign MIDI Controllers or click the cross

in the upper-right corner.
