This is a great feature of the editor.

Mix:
Combines the two patches by randomly selecting one parameter from patch A  
and one from patch B until all parameters have been selected.
If you had OSC 1 Level as 30 on patch A and OSC 1 Level as 55 on patch B,  
some of the patches produced would have the OSC 1 level value be 30, some  
would have it be 55.

Morph:
Does a straight "morph" between the two patches over 128 points.
If you had OSC 1 level as 30 on patch A and OSC 1 level as 55 on patch B,  
your 128 patches would have the OSC 1 level value go from 30 to 55 over  
the 128 patches.  Patch 64/65 should be a "50/50" mix

Mutate:
Randomizes based on patch A and patch B.
If you had OSC 1 level as 30 on patch A and OSC 1 level as 55 on patch B,  
you'd get a bunch of patches where OSC 1 level ranged between 30 and 55.

I also like how it creates the names in the same fashion!
