When a node is highlighted green, it is playing. Play begins at the initial node α. Whenever all nodes become inactive or stop is pressed, play returns to the initial node. Nodes with dashed borders are selectors. Only one successor is played after a selector, i.e. only one outgoing arc is traversed. • Right click the canvas to create a new node • Middle click a node to learn a MIDI note • Double click a node to edit its properties • Ctrl+Left click a node to make it a selector <big><b>Arcs</b></big> When a node is finished playing, play travels along outgoing arcs, depending on their probability. The colour of an arc indicates its probability, where green is high and red is low. • Ctrl+Left click an arc to decrease its probability • Ctrl+Right click an arc to increase its probability <big><b>Recording</b></big> A machine can be build by recording MIDI input. To record, press the record button and play some MIDI notes. To finish recording, press stop or play and the new nodes will be added to the machine. Normal recording inserts delay nodes to reproduce the timing of the input. To avoid this, use step recording which directly connects nodes to their successors with no delays in-between. <big><b>Connecting</b></big> Connecting nodes is based on the selection. If there is a selection, clicking a node will connect the selection to that node. There are two modes: chain and fan. In chain mode, the selection is moved to the clicked node for quickly connecting long chains of nodes. In fan mode, the selection is unchanged for quickly connecting the selection to many nodes.
