Could you build this?
Partial A basic step-sequencer UI with audio playback is vibe-codeable. Faithfully reimplementing the RB-338 sound engine and behaviour requires detailed analysis of the original device and DSP work that vibe coding alone will not supply.
What it would actually take: The stack would be a Web Audio or native audio engine with a sequencer UI, MIDI I/O, and synthesis or sample playback. The hard part is matching the original's analog-style sound and timing, which needs DSP expertise and measurement of the original's output or circuit behaviour, plus care around proprietary sample content. A solo builder could get close, but an authentic version needs audio DSP experience.
