Could you build this?
Partial The app shell and lesson UI are vibe-codeable, but a credible synth-teaching app needs a real audio DSP engine and a large body of carefully written, technically accurate curriculum.
What it would actually take: A build would combine an audio engine (AudioKit, Web Audio, or a native DSP layer) for subtractive, FM, wavetable, and additive synthesis with a lesson framework where each control is tied to a live parameter. The hard parts are the correctness of the sound design and the teaching content, which needs an experienced synth programmer and educator. Accurate tours of third-party plugins like Sylenth1 and Serum 2 also require hands-on familiarity with those tools.
