+# Spectral Brush Editor v2: MQ-Based Sinusoidal Synthesis
+
+**Status:** Design Phase
+**Target:** Procedural audio compression for short samples (drums, piano, impacts)
+**Replaces:** Spectrogram-based synthesis (poor audio quality)
+
+---
+
+## Overview
+
+McAulay-Quatieri (MQ) sinusoidal modeling for audio compression. Extract frequency/amplitude trajectories as bezier curves, apply "style" via replicas (harmonics, spread, jitter), synthesize to baked PCM buffers.
+
+**Key Features:**
+- **50-100× compression:** WAV → bezier curves + replica params → C++ structs
+- **Web-based editor:** Real-time MQ extraction, curve editing, synthesis preview
+- **Procedural synthesis:** Bandwidth-enhanced oscillators with phase jitter and frequency spread
+- **Tracker integration:** MQ samples triggered as assets, future pitch/amp modulation

+## Data Model
+
+### Per-Partial Representation
+
+Each sinusoidal partial stores:
+
+```
+Partial {
+  freq_curve: CubicBezier    // Frequency trajectory (Hz vs. seconds)
+  amp_curve: CubicBezier     // Amplitude envelope (0-1 vs. seconds)
+  replicas: ReplicaConfig    // Harmonic/inharmonic copies
+}
+
+CubicBezier {
+  (t0, v0), (t1, v1), (t2, v2), (t3, v3)  // 4 control points
+}
+
+ReplicaConfig {
+  offsets: [ratio1, ratio2, ...]          // Frequency ratios (1.0, 2.01, 0.5, ...)
+  decay_alpha: float                      // Amplitude decay: exp(-α·|f-f₀|)
+  jitter: float [0-1]                     // Phase randomization amount
+  spread_above: float [0-1]               // Frequency spread +% of f₀
+  spread_below: float [0-1]               // Frequency spread -% of f₀
+  bandwidth: float [0-1]                  // Noise bandwidth ±% of f

+
+## McAulay-Quatieri Algorithm
+
+### Phase 1: Peak Detection
+
+STFT with overlapping windows:
+
+```
+For each frame (hop = 512 samples):
+  1. FFT (size = 2048)
+  2. Magnitude spectrum |X[k]|
+  3. Detect peaks: local maxima above threshold
+  4. Extract (frequency, amplitude, phase) via parabolic interpolation
+```
+
+**Parameters:**
+- `fft_size`: 2048 (adjustable 1024-4096)
+- `hop_size`: 512 (75% overlap)
+- `peak_threshold`: -60 dB (adjustable)
+
+### Phase 2: Trajectory Tracking
+
+Link peaks across frames into continuous partials:
+
+```
+Birth/Death/Continuation model:
+  - Match peak to existing partial if |f_new - f_old| < threshold
+  - Birth new partial if unmatched peak persists 2+ frames
+  - Death partial if no match for 2+ frames
+```
+
+**Tracking threshold:** 50 Hz (adjustable)
+
+### Phase 3: Bezier Curve Fitting
+
+Fit cubic bezier to each partial's trajectory:
+
+```
+Input: [(t1, f1), (t2, f2), ..., (tN, fN)]
+Output: 4 control points minimizing least-squares error
+
+Algorithm:
+  1. Fix endpoints: (t0, f0) = first, (t3, f3) = last
+  2. Solve for (t1, f1), (t2, f2) via linear regression
+  3. Repeat for amplitude trajectory
+```
+
+**Error threshold:** Auto-fit to minimize control points (future: user-adjustable simplification)
+
+---
+
+## Synthesis Model
+
+### Replica Oscillator Bank
+
+For each partial at time `t`:
+
+```python
+# Evaluate bezier curves
+f0 = eval_bezier(partial.freq_curve, t)
+A0 = eval_bezier(partial.amp_curve, t)
+
+# For each replica offset ratio
+for ratio in partial.replicas:
+    # Frequency spread (asymmetric randomization)
+    spread = random.uniform(-partial.spread_below, +partial.spread_above)
+    f = f0 * ratio * (1.0 + spread)
+
+    # Amplitude decay
+    A = A0 * exp(-partial.decay_alpha * abs(f - f0))
+
+    # Phase (non-deterministic, seeded by frame counter)
+    phase = 2*pi*f*t + partial.jitter * random.uniform(0, 2*pi)
+
+    # Base sinusoid
+    sample += A * sin(phase)
+
+    # Bandwidth-enhanced noise (optional)
+    if partial.bandwidth > 0:
+        noise_bw = f * partial.bandwidth
+        sample += A * bandlimited_noise(f - noise_bw, f + noise_bw)
+```
+
+### Bezier Evaluation (Cubic)
+
+De Casteljau's algorithm:
+
+```cpp
+float eval_bezier(const MQBezier& b, float t) {
+  // Normalize t to [0, 1]
+  float u = (t - b.t0) / (b.t3 - b.t0);
+  u = clamp(u, 0.0f, 1.0f);
+
+  // Cubic interpolation
+  float u1 = 1.0f - u;
+  return u1*u1*u1 * b.v0 +
+         3*u1*u1*u * b.v1 +
+         3*u1*u*u * b.v2 +
+         u*u*u * b.v3;
+}
+```
+
+### Baking Process (C++)
+
+```cpp
+// At audio_init() time
+void synth_bake_mq(const MQSample& sample, std::vector<float>& pcm_out) {
+  int num_samples = sample.sample_rate * sample.duration;
+  pcm_out.resize(num_samples);
+
+  for (int i = 0; i < num_samples; ++i) {
+    float t = (float)i / sample.sample_rate;
+    float sample_val = 0.0f;
+
+    for (int p = 0; p < sample.num_partials; ++p) {
+      const MQPartial& partial = sample.partials[p];
+      float f0 = eval_bezier(partial.freq, t);
+      float A0 = eval_bezier(partial.amp, t);
+
+      for (int r = 0; r < partial.num_replicas; ++r) {
+        float ratio = partial.replicas[r];
+
+        // Frequency spread
+        uint32_t seed = i * 12345 + p * 67890 + r;
+        float spread = rand_float(seed, -partial.spread_below, partial.spread_above);
+        float f = f0 * ratio * (1.0f + spread);
+
+        // Amplitude decay
+        float A = A0 * expf(-partial.decay_alpha * fabsf(f - f0));
+
+        // Phase jitter
+        float jitter = rand_float(seed + 1, 0.0f, 1.0f) * partial.jitter;
+        float phase = 2.0f * M_PI * f * t + jitter * 2.0f * M_PI;
+
+        sample_val += A * sinf(phase);
+
+        // TODO: bandwidth-enhanced noise
+      }
+    }
+
+    pcm_out[i] = sample_val;
+  }
+}
