| Element | Description | Example | |--------|-------------|---------| | | Neon magenta, electric cyan, deep violet, and a pulse‑white accent. Use gradients that shift from magenta to cyan on hover. | #FF00FF → #00FFFF gradient on the main knob ring. | | Typography | Bold, geometric sans‑serif for headings (e.g., Orbitron ). Light, monospaced for parameter values (e.g., Source Code Pro ). | “D‑Strortion” in Orbitron 48 pt, parameters in Source Code Pro 12 pt. | | Iconography | Stylized lightning bolts, glitch‑style pixel fragments, and a stylized “D” that morphs into a waveform. | Main logo: a D‑shaped wave with a crack‑like edge. | | Background | Dark, textured grid with subtle animated noise that reacts to the audio envelope (brighter when the signal peaks). | 4 k resolution, 0.2 % opacity static overlay. | | Interaction cues | Hover‑glow, click‑pulse, and a brief “digital burst” animation when a preset is loaded. | Knob turns → trailing neon line follows the cursor. |
