Could you build this?
Partial Developing an interactive mobile instrument with low-latency audio, real-time procedural harmonic grammar transitions, and smooth musical phrasing requires specialized digital audio signal processing and music theory programming.
What it would actually take: Building Ariata requires native iOS development using AVAudioEngine or low-level C++ audio graphs (AudioUnits) to achieve sub-10ms touch-to-sound latency. The generative accompaniment engine requires programmatic state machines encoding harmonic functional harmony (cadence resolution, voice leading, chord transitions) in real time synchronized to a clock. The main barrier is the intersection of audio DSP/synthesis expertise and algorithmic music theory.
