Could you build this?

Partial While the visual node editor frontend is approachable, integrating deeply with REAPER's ReaScript/C++ API, handling real-time audio automation state, and MCP bridging requires specialized audio software engineering.

What it would actually take: To build ReAfecto, one would need a visual node editor frontend (e.g. React Flow or a desktop native UI in JUCE/Qt) coupled with a native extension or plugin utilizing the REAPER C++ / ReaScript API. The hard part is managing real-time bidirectional synchronization with REAPER's internal timeline, track states, and undo history without crashing the DAW or introducing audio glitches, plus implementing an MCP server interface.
