• 3-detector stereo sonification + compressor, resonant peaks, scale/drone modes, FDN reverb, filter, sub
• Mid/bass musical factory defaults (warm filter, pentatonic scale on)
• MIDI (pulse / hold modes), CC1 → freq, CC74 → filter
• QWERTY pentatonic when editor focused
• Spacebar fires a wavefront pulse
• 3 routable LFOs (rate/depth; targets via host automation)

Editor

• Cinematic 20:9 UI
• Live supersampled wave field (CINE / SCI views)
• Drag SRC and DET probes on the field
• Draw mode (paint/erase walls)
• Detector scope + energy meter
• LFO activity glow on knobs
