Gene Manipulation
Click the Gene Manipulation button to open up the gene manipulation window. This
allows you access to the genome of the sound seed, where each individual gene can
be tweaked to your satisfaction. Just keep in mind that you are editing the genome of
the seed and that any grown branches may produce sounds that could be radically
different from the seed.
Gene values
Interactive help
Gene names
To edit a gene, click either on the ring representing its value or on its name and drag
left or right. Control / command–click to reset the value to 0.5. Shift-click to perform
finer changes. As you move the mouse vertically over the DNA helix, it will automati-
cally scroll to give you access to all 37 genes.
Clicking the little ? button at the top of the gene manipulation window turns on the
interactive help function which will give you detailed descriptions of the genes. A
complete

included later in this user guide.
