DSI Mopho SoundEditor - Program Genetics

Program Genetics

The Program Genetics function 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”).

The Program Genetics window is selected from the Options menu of the main page

Program Genetics can also be accessed from the Bank Manager/Librarian Options

menu selection as well.

A view of the Preset Genetics window is shown below. The two source 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  lters to exclude selected parameters

from the Genetics function, and three buttons at the top for editing functions and resetting

excluded parameters.

Any pair of Programs can be used for the Genetics functions (that’s one Program each

from Mother and Father). The result of applying the user-selected Genetics functions

creates a child bank of 128 new programs, and any ‘keepers’ auditioned from the child

bank can then be moved into the Top Offspring bank.
