Could you build this?
No A from-scratch looper firmware for a specific piece of hardware requires embedded C, real-time audio processing on an ARM microcontroller, and device-specific knowledge that vibe coding can't supply on its own.
What it would actually take: A real version needs firmware for the Polyend Tracker's MCU, so the builder must learn its toolchain, memory map, and audio/DMA pipeline, and work from SDK documentation or reverse-engineered hardware details. The hard parts are low-latency, glitch-free multi-track audio buffering and timing on constrained hardware, which require embedded DSP expertise and physical device testing.
