Morph: The value of each parameter is linearly interpolated from one parent to the other. The first child is
identical to the mother; the last child is identical to the father. All others are weighted towards each parent
depending on their placement within the list. The middle child preset is exactly 1⁄2 mother and 1⁄2 father.
Mutate: The parameter values of each child preset are randomly chosen from within the range between each
parent’s parameter. For example, if the mother’s cutoff frequency was 10 and the father’s was 88, the child values
would be anywhere between 10 and 88.
Random: The value of each parameter of each child is produced by a random number from within the min/max
Voyager parameter range.
Note: Experimentation by using vastly different parents and 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!
Note: Preset names in the Kids bank also become scrambled or rearranged when you use the Genetics
functions. This is normal. You can prevent preset names from changing by checking the Name box under
‘Exclude Preset Parameters’. When the Name box is checked, all preset names in the generated Kid’s
bank will assume the selected preset name from the Mommy bank.
The Auto Audition checkbox enables automatic transfer of the selected presets from the mother, father, kids or
top offspring banks to the Voyager's edit buffer. When the Auto Audition checkbox is unchecked (disabled), no
data is transmitted to the Voyager.
The Edit button brings up the Editor window, permitting on-screen editing of the selected preset from the mother,
father, kids or top offspring banks. The Auto Audition button must be checked for the Editor to correctly display
the selected preset in the Genetics window.
The Reset button resets all selections made under the ‘Exclude Preset Parameters’ section. When the Reset
button is clicked, any checked selections become unchecked.
