How the field resonates
Each quadrant is mapped to a sound. Pour atoms into one quadrant or across several to mix them. Wider piles get louder and brighter. Taller piles increase reverb and decay.

The right stick up and down zooms.
Rotate
The right stick left and right turns the view.
Emit and emitter size
Hold the right trigger to emit atoms. A light pull makes a single stream; pulling farther widens the emitter. The left trigger always makes a single stream. You can keep emitting while moving, rotating, or zooming.
Settings

Readout
Create, the button to the left of the touchpad, opens and closes the frame and audio readout.
Materials
You can choose different materials for the atoms you emit. Each material interacts with the others to change the shape of piles of atoms.
Block
A block sinks beneath whatever is underneath it. A pile of blocks will lose height as it sinks.
Sand
Piles into gaps and has a tendency to spread out.
Diffuse
Spreads and floats away.
Erode
Cuts through a pile.
