12. PROGRAM GENETICS and MORPHER
The Program Genetics window is selected from the Options menu of the main page
(Morpher is a subset function of Genetics and will be discussed at the end of this
section):
Program Genetics can also be accessed from the Bank Manager/Librarian Options
menu selection as well:
Genetics allows you to quickly build new sounds from two existing ones in a similar
fashion to breeding. Parameters of each of the two sources (Parents) are combined
using four different functions to generate a new bank of presets (Kids).
A view of the Preset Genetics window is shown below. The two source banks (Parent
banks called Mommy and Daddy) are located in the upper left, along with buttons for
the four different genetics functions. The generated bank (Kids) and the Top Offspring
bank are located in the lower left. On the right are filters to exclude selected
parameters from the genetics function, and three buttons at the top for editing
functions and resetting excluded parameters.
