12.1. Loading Banks
Both Parent banks use the programs from the ‘A’ bank by default, but any bank can be
loaded into either parent by clicking on the list box masthead and selecting Bank A or
B as shown below:
12.2. Creating New Sounds
To create a bank of sounds based on a Program Genetics function (Mix, Morph,
Mutate, or Random) you must select a pair of ‘seed’ programs, one each from the
Mommy bank and Daddy bank. Use the scroll bars to scroll through the Parent bank
lists and select the desired programs. If you have a mouse with a scroll wheel you can
quickly scroll through either bank list by placing the mouse cursor onto the list and
scrolling up/down.
With a pair of programs chosen, selecting any one of the four Program Genetics
functions will create a bank of 128 programs in the Kids bank. Selecting the Program
Genetics function a second time will create a new bank of 128 programs, replacing the
previously generated Kids bank.
Notes: Program names in the ‘Kids’ bank become scrambled or rearranged when
you use the Genetics functions. This is normal.
