Gestures

• Tap or fling empty space — launch a planet onto the nearest ring. A harder fling is louder.
• Fling direction sets the orbit direction — retrograde planets run against the flow and pan to the other side.
• Drag a planet — move it to another ring or angle. Note names appear on the rings while you drag.
• Hold a planet — give it a moon that chimes a harmony above it. Hold again for a second moon; a third hold clears them.
• Tap a planet — pop it (Z brings it back).
• Fling from the void outside the rings — a comet arcs through the system, playing every ring it crosses. The sun eats comets that fall in.

Mixing & sharing

• The colored dots mute each voice; double-click one to solo it. Muted planets dim.
• Swing leans every off-beat toward a triplet shuffle.
• Preset loads a curated system (Z restores yours).
• Share copies a link that recreates the whole system.
• ● Rec captures the mix to an audio file.
