Wire the modular input layer into the Console and reshape the browser
engine so input axes are genuine independent dimensions.
Inputs (manifold/src/inputs/):
- gamepad-source: emit press+release edges with standard-mapping labels
(enables hold-and-move); single/double-stick already present.
- midi-input-source: single-device selection + batch "MIDI Learn"
(every CC swept while armed becomes an axis); notes stay discrete.
- input-layer: compose() forwards each axis 1:1 (no mean-blend);
add onReducedInput so the manifold tracks gamepad/MIDI position.
- types: InputAction.phase, InputMode.
Console (manifold/src/console/):
- ConsoleApp: bind gamepad buttons to verdicts (RB up / LB down /
X randomise / Y nudge / B undo / A-hold reposition); mirror composed
position onto the manifold.
- Drawers: rebuilt Inputs drawer (source picker, gamepad legend, MIDI
device picker + batch-learn flow, learned-control meters).
Engine (nisps/wasm, manifold/src/engine):
- DefaultMLP widened MLP<2,..> -> MLP<32,..> (32 = MAX_AXES); each
active axis gets a dedicated slot, unused slots held at 0 (inert).
Rebuilt nisps.wasm (playground + manifold).
- spine/engine-api: setInputs writes the full N-D vector (was dropping
arr[2+]); primary pair keeps the 2-D pipeline; process() re-ticks the
whole vector via spine.reprocess().
Tests:
- parity_check/parity_wasm: ParityMLP -> 32 inputs, widen example bufs.
- CMakeLists: build parity binary with -ffp-contract=off so native
matches FMA-free WASM (training amplified the gap past 1e-5).
Inputs dock is still an exclusive picker; mixing toggles, reshape modal,
and the >2-D slider view (inputs-spec.md) are groundwork-laid but not
yet wired. See docs/redesign/midi-gamepad-inputs-worklog.md.
ParticleStage showed the Boldness/Memory/Precision macro sliders across the
top, but the a-immersive design this mode clones uses a thin per-output
heatmap strip (one colored bar per visual output, width = live value). The
deployed a-immersive never used the macro-axis surface.
- flow-field.ts: export VISUAL_PARAM_NAMES/COLORS + N_VISUAL_OUTPUTS (verbatim
from a-app.js:46/51)
- ParticleStage: replace macro-slider bar with the 22px heatmap strip; bar
widths updated imperatively in the existing rAF loop; hover tooltip with
live value; drop unused axes props
- ConsoleApp: update call site
Route onMove through the XY-pad source's pushPad; instantiate useInputLayer
per engine and expose it on ConsoleCtx. The Inputs drawer now picks the
source(s) (XY pad / MIDI / gamepad toggles), configures each (gamepad
single/double stick; MIDI learn-map with per-binding clear), and shows the
composed channel layout + the blend-to-2 reshape notice referencing the
multi-WASM TODO (inputs-spec).
Particle System is the default output Mode. When active it renders the
full-bleed ParticleStage (flow field driven by engine outputs each rAF) in
place of the manifold stage, regardless of the in/split/out/composite focus,
and suppresses the duplicate corner MEMLNaut label (the stage's top axis bar
already shows it).
Adds the Manifold app (manifold/) — the convertible-mode React front-end on
the real NISPS ML+audio engine, served live at meml.lnfinitemonkeys.org/next/.
Console chrome trimmed per UI pass:
- drop mode label + subtitle from the top-left overlay (keep MEMLNaut wordmark)
- remove the composite split preset/ratio readout (top-centre)
- remove the OUTPUT corner tag above the bars
- remove the A/B compare toggle from the verdict cluster
- remove the follow button + input/noise readout (bottom-left)
- remove AltitudeNav focus switcher (bottom-right)
