Could you build this?
Partial A UI and preset system for a granular synth is codeable, but a responsive instrument on a small ARM handheld needs low-latency audio DSP and hardware-specific optimization that vibe coding alone won't reliably deliver.
What it would actually take: The stack would be C or C++ DSP code (granular engine, grain scheduling, effects) using the device's audio API, cross-compiled for the handheld's ARM Linux SoC with a lightweight UI layer. The hard parts are real-time audio performance and hardware-specific debugging, which need embedded audio DSP experience and a physical device to test on.
