Click on the head of each gourd to activate animation and sound. Click on the smaller gourds to switch to other sounds. Click on the "scratch pad" to trigger one-shot sound effects. Click on the small balls on the scratch pad to try out other sound effects. To silence the drumming and motion of each gourd, click on the head again. Use the Page Up(Down) buttons on the keyboard, while the mouse is in the frame of the 3D world, to change viewpoints. This will enhance the 3D spatialization effect and allow you to visit various scenic spots in this world.

Hint: Notice the "baby gourd buds" are arranged radially from the stalk. Imagine if they were numbered from 1 to 5. Then for example, activating bud 4 on all of the gourds will result in percussive patterns that are "compatible" with one another. This is only one way to enjoy CyberGourds. We do still encourage you to mix and match patterns, and create your own custom tunes.
