Could you build this?
Partial A web audio granular synth prototype is vibe-codeable, but real-time, low-latency DSP on mobile/desktop with smooth tape emulation requires dedicated audio programming expertise.
What it would actually take: Building a production granular synthesizer requires low-level audio engineering using C++/JUCE, Rust, or optimized WebAudio/AudioWorklets. Key technical hurdles include jitter-free grain scheduling, windowing envelopes, tape-saturation DSP modeling, and SIMD/DSP optimizations to prevent audio underruns on resource-constrained devices.
