TITLE: SOFTWAVE — neumorphic player
PROMPT: Design 'SOFTWAVE', a neumorphic music player extruded from a warm putty background (#E6E1D8). Every control is embossed or debossed with consistent double shadows: play/pause that visibly presses, skip buttons, a sunken volume groove with a raised thumb, a recessed equalizer window with animated bars, and a spinning vinyl-style album disc with a sheen. Accent: muted coral (#E9897E), used sparingly. Behavior: play toggles disc rotation, equalizer motion, and a gentle generated WebAudio lo-fi loop (resume context on first gesture); the volume slider actually works; next/previous crossfade fictional track titles.
DESCRIPTION: A single extruded control panel on warm putty: a vinyl-textured disc (repeating-radial-gradient grooves with coral label and rotating sheen) that spins while playing; embossed transport controls that visibly press into the surface; a sunken seek groove with raised thumb and live time readouts; a recessed equalizer window whose 12 bars dance continuously (livelier when playing); a working volume groove with a soft WebAudio lo-fi loop (filtered noise warmth + a slow triangle chord pad, gesture-gated and mutable); four fictional tracks with next/prev/shuffle and toast announcements; and small-press details like the "№ 003 · 33⅓ rpm" catalog chip.
TECHNIQUES: neumorphic dual box-shadow extrusion and inset debossing, repeating-radial-gradient vinyl grooves, rotating conic sheen overlay, requestAnimationFrame equalizer with per-bar random walk, pointer-capture sliders for seek and volume, WebAudio noise-bed + oscillator pad with setTargetAtTime volume ramping, system-font micro-typography with letterspaced small caps, reduced-motion support.
INTERACTION: Tap the disc or the big play button to start (spins disc, animates EQ, starts audio after gesture); skip/shuffle swap tracks with toast; drag the seek groove to scrub; drag the volume groove or tap mute for real volume control; all controls have pressed/debossed tactile states.
