Something visually stunning.
What if an effect felt like playing with light? Triprism explores that idea with a reactive prism. Bring us your own beautiful, outrageous visual world. Let’s find out how it could respond to sound.
What we’d like to build.
We want to collaborate with the best designers out there. People who make us look twice, want to touch a control, or discover a new way to play. Here are a few challenges we’d love to explore with you.
An instrument from somewhere else.
A strange sequencer. A harmony playground. An instrument nobody knows how to play yet. Invent a new gesture, bend the rules, and give musicians something wonderfully unfamiliar to explore.
Just ridiculously good design.
A knob you can almost feel through the screen. Sliders that move just right. A whole plugin that makes every detail count. Help us build slick interfaces and grow a toolkit other designers can make their own.
What you get
Not a mockup. A tool people make music with.
Most interface concepts stay on Dribbble. Yours gets real audio behind every control, and musicians who actually play it.
Your design, playable
We connect every knob, slider and screen to working audio. It ships as a real plugin or instrument, not a static frame.
We cover the build
Engineering, sound, testing and release are on us. You focus on how it looks, moves and feels.
Credit and a share
Your name on the product and its page. When your design ships in a paid plugin, you share in the revenue.
A portfolio piece anyone can play
A live link that opens in any browser. Controls can also become open-source PluginUI components with your name on them.
How it works
From sketch to something you can play.
- 01
Send a sketch
Figma, images, a video or a drawing on paper. A rough idea is fine.
- 02
Agree the terms
Credits, revenue share and what becomes open source are written down before work starts.
- 03
Play the prototype
We build a working version with real sound. You refine the motion, details and feel until it’s right.
- 04
Release it
We ship it as a plugin, a component or both, and share it with you across Maru’s channels.
Questions.
Does it cost me anything?
No. For the designs we select, we cover the engineering and release.
Do I need to code or know audio?
No. We handle the audio engine and the code. Curiosity about sound helps, but it isn’t required.
What should I send?
Whatever shows your idea best: Figma files, screenshots, a motion study, or a sketch. Links to past work help us understand your style.
Who owns the design?
You keep the rights to your design unless we agree otherwise in writing. Credits and any open-source licence are agreed before we start.
Can it be something completely new?
Please. Strange instruments and unfamiliar ways of playing are exactly what we want to build.
Share your work and idea.
