! Random: A random value from within the min/max parameter range produces the value of each
parameter for the Child. The four Program Genetics functions are selected by using the buttons at
the top of the window.
Experimentation using vastly different parents or similar parents creates the most
interesting results. You can also ‘interbreed’ the child patches too. In addition,
you can set filters to excluded parameters that will not take a part in the
generation of new offspring. Experiment and have fun!
Additional controls appear on the top right side of the Program Genetics window:
! The Auto Audition checkbox enables the transfer of selected Programs from the Mother, Father,
Kids or Top Offspring banks to the Tetra’s edit buffer for auditioning. When the
! Auto Audition checkbox is unchecked (disabled), no Programs are transmitted. The Edit button
brings up the Editor window, permitting on-screen editing of a selected Program from the Parents,
Kids or Top Offspring banks.
! The Write button brings up the Write Program dialog box. The Write function works on the
currently selected program, which can be from the Parents, Kids or Top Offspring banks.
! The Reset button resets all checkbox selections made under the ‘Exclude Preset
! Parameters’ section. When you click Reset, all checked parameters become unchecked.
The Auto Audition button must be checked for the Editor to correctly display
the selected Program in the Genetics window.
