Could you build this?
Partial Creating a Synthesia-style falling notes UI is easy, but transcribing arbitrary YouTube audio/video to accurate polyphonic piano MIDI entirely on-device offline is technically complex.
What it would actually take: The application needs a cross-platform desktop stack (Electron or Tauri with C++/Rust), an embedded audio-to-MIDI polyphonic neural network (such as Onsets and Frames or ByteDance's piano transcription model quantized with ONNX), and low-latency audio/MIDI I/O (CoreMIDI/ASIO). The hard part is running performant, accurate polyphonic audio transcription locally without external servers.
