Could you build this?

Partial While the native macOS interface and music notation UI can be vibe-coded, low-latency live music playback and real-time audio synthesis require complex digital signal processing.

What it would actually take: Built with Swift and SwiftUI/AppKit interfacing with CoreAudio, AudioToolbox, or custom DSP audio units. The hard part is ensuring deterministic, glitch-free audio scheduling and low-latency buffer management during live editing. This requires deep expertise in digital audio processing, MIDI synchronization, and macOS audio engine internals.
