1. Pad Grid Interface (Structured Mode)
Purpose: Control · Navigation · Performance
- MPC-inspired grid for live control, menu navigation, and feedback.
- Pads act as multifunctional elements — commands, notes, links, or macros.
- Glowing word clusters (PLAY, EDIT, LINK, SAVE) turn the grid into a tactile command palette.
Advantages: immediate familiarity for producers, rapid onboarding, visual feedback, rhythmic precision.
2. Shape Canvas Interface (Freeform Mode)
Purpose: Creation · Exploration · Composition
- Dynamic lower region for geometric and generative arrangements.
- Shapes become creative nodes — sound sources, logic modules, visual forms.
- Two-way interaction with pads: touch a pad → shape reacts; move a shape → pad glows.
3. Hardware Integration (LightDrum & Beyond)
Purpose: Physical Expression · Stage Performance
- LightDrum mirrors software pads with pastel illumination.
- Functions as both input and output — performance surface + light choreography.
- MIDI + GPIO connectivity for instruments, stage lighting, and kinetic art.
4. Converged Design Philosophy
Muvicado is an ecosystem of surfaces that invite both casual play and deep construction through visual continuity.
| Layer | Primary Function | Expression |
|---|---|---|
| Pad Grid | Structured logic, real-time control | Digital Brain |
| Shape Canvas | Generative composition, visual flow | Creative Heart |
| LightDrum Hardware | Physical feedback, performance interface | Body and Gesture |
5. Aesthetic System
- Palette: pastel metallics — rose gold, mint, lavender, sky blue — on dark graphite.
- Lighting: stage-inspired bloom and rhythm.
- Typography: rounded sans-serif minimalism.
- Motion Language: soft transitions synced to BPM 58.
6. Mission Statement
Muvicado Mindware transforms the grid into a canvas and the canvas into an instrument.
It unifies creativity across touch, sight, and sound — empowering users to compose, connect, and perform ideas in real time.Made in Mishawaka · Shared Everywhere.
