System Model

MAINFRAME-B follows a simple nesting structure:

ZONE | PARAMETER | MODULATION
  • Zones map to MIDI channels and define distinct looks.
  • Parameters define the look and animation behavior within a zone.
  • Modulation changes parameter values based on pitch, velocity, or random.

Presets live inside zones:

ZONE | PRESET | PARAMETER

Each zone has 8 presets, and each preset stores 10 parameters. All zones display at once, so layers blend together into a composite result.
