No Clipper is synthesizer firmware for a specific hardware synth (the M-VAVE FM-1), so it requires embedded DSP programming, the device's toolchain, and hardware access for testing. Vibe coding alone cannot cover real-time audio on a microcontroller.
What it would actually take: A real version needs the FM-1's MCU toolchain and SDK, a firmware build and flashing process, and real-time DSP code for FM synthesis with tight latency constraints. Building it also requires the physical hardware for testing and debugging the audio output.
