Polychoral Instrument MVP

Gesture Map

Polychoral gestures blend direct drags with modifier modes so each plane pair remains intuitive even on touch devices.

Plain drag → XY & YZ planes
Shift + drag → XW & YW planes
Alt + drag → XZ & ZW planes
Ctrl / ⌘ + drag → fine isoclinic blend across all planes
Touch: two-finger drag mirrors the Shift profile for quick access to the W-axis planes.

Audio synthesis is baked into this build—tap Enable Audio and the oscillator network will wake instantly without microphone permissions.

Architecture Map

State Lattice XY/YZ anchor the MVEP mouse axes while XW/YW/ZW extend into the full Clifford basis. Six coupled velocities define the 4D rotation tensor that all render and sound mappings read from.
Fidelity Constellation Dimension, Morph, Grid, and Fidelity form the HypercubeCore morph stack—blending between simplex, cube, and lattice regimes while keeping sampling density energy-balanced.
Audio Coupler Bass/Mid/High magnitudes gate structural glow, shell width, and glitching. Pitch locks the Clifford ratio monitor so audio rhythm and rotation cadence can phase-align.
Gesture Weave Pointer modes pick orthogonal plane pairs: default → {XY, YZ}, Shift → {XW, YW}, Alt → {XZ, ZW}, Ctrl → fine isoclinic blend. Gesture deltas live-mix with the base sliders.

MVP prototype blending the original MVEP mouse experiment with the HypercubeCore fidelity suite. Six hyper-rotation degrees-of-freedom are simultaneously controllable, mapping a full Clifford rotation space to sound-reactive 4D lattice synthesis. Explore emergent timbres by choreographing trajectories through this state space.

Othonoquarturnica Guide

This MVP channels a six-plane hyper-rotation into sound and light. Use this quick brief to align your gestures, audio expectations, and layout tweaks before diving in.

Launch & Audio Onboarding

Select Enable Audio in the toolbar or System panel to wake the synth. Browsers require a user gesture before sound begins.
The status card mirrors the AudioContext state. If it reports a suspension, press the audio toggle again to resume.
Adjust the Master Volume slider to taste. Preset recalls will respect the level you pick here.

Gestures & Rotation Mapping

Drag on the canvas to steer the primary XY, YZ, and XZ planes. Hold Shift to reach the W-axis pairs.
Tap the Gestures panel for a reminder of the modifier chords and how they split across axes.
Axis meters in the Status panel highlight which planes are currently energised so you can balance the polytope field.

Layout & Panel Management

Compact layouts auto-shelve panels. Use the toolbar buttons to reopen what you need; the app remembers your choice.
The dock toggle hides the toolbar itself on extra-short screens. Tap the floating button to reveal it again.
Need a reset? Load the neutral preset from the scene selector to recover the baseline visual and audio pose.

Roadmap Snapshot

Current focus is refining panel responsiveness and deepening the audio architecture described in the Audio Synthesis Master Plan. Follow the checklist in MVP Roadmap to track outstanding polish before public testing.
