# NEUROPOD — Motion Engine Spec (v1.1, delta)

**Scope:** Additive spec against existing NEUROPOD firmware (Daisy Pod / STM32H750, dual-path MIDI neuro bass synth, MIDI clock sync already implemented). This delta morphs NEUROPOD into its final form: a **scene-based motion instrument** — capture sweet spots, morph between them, sequence them, and generate movement with a curatable dice system. No manual per-parameter automation anywhere in the workflow.

**Design axiom:** *The sweet-spot problem and the sequencing problem are the same problem.* Sweet spots are captured (not designed), movement is morphing between captured states, and sequences are generated (then curated by exception via locks).

The loop this enables: **explore → capture → morph → roll → curate-by-lock** — sweet spots harvested by ear, movement generated, authorship kept.
