Could you build this?

No The product is firmware for a specific hardware synth (the M-VAVE FM-1), which requires embedded systems, DSP, and hardware-specific toolchain expertise that vibe coding can't substitute for.

What it would actually take: A real version requires the FM-1's microcontroller SDK and toolchain, the audio synthesis engine derived from SLOOP's code, and real-time constraints on the device's audio and MIDI I/O. It needs embedded firmware engineers with DSP experience and the physical device to test and flash it.
