The new object will take the current values displayed in the control panel.
Sound and location will be random unless you unselect the check boxes. If so the color will be the one displayed in the color selector.
The location of a Crystal can be specified by clicking on the stage before creating it (when random location if set to off). The sound of the Crystal will change depending on its location.
Select a Crystal by clicking on it or by selecting its pad on the selector panel. The name of the selected Crystal will be displayed on the Sound menu. If no Crystal is selected you will get a "no selection" message. If so the changes you make in the control panel will not affect to any Crystal. Use this to specify the properties of a new Crystal before you create it. During this state you can also change the background color.
You can specify different movements to a Crystal by selecting it and changing its parameters on the control panel.
Hold down "SPACE" bar and you will be able to move any Crystal.
If you right click (control + click on Mac) you will see that the Cristal becomes red, if you click anywhere in the space the Crystal will take that point as destination and change slowly its position towards that point.
Custom paths can be recorded and specified to the objects. In order to record you need to click "record" button and then move the desired Crystal. The path you created will be stored on the Path pull down menu, and can be applied to any Crystal.
You can manage your Paths, delete and rename them. Clicking the "delete" button will delete the current Path displayed on the menu.
If you click on the menu and hold the menu will become editable. Type a new name for the selected Path and hit Enter key to store the new name.
Same can be said about Sounds. You can import your own sounds into Crystals. They can be renamed or deleted.
IMPORTANT : You can import your own sounds into Crystals. However they MUST be in QUICK TIME format, you can easily convert your WAVs and AIFFs into QT in Premiere (PC) or Sound Edit (Mac).
