Could you build this?
No Writing C++ DSP modules for Max/MSP and Ableton Live requires specialized audio signal processing mathematics and the native Max SDK/C++ audio thread constraints.
What it would actually take: Requires the Cycling '74 Max SDK in modern C++, implementing real-time audio callback methods (`perform` routines) strictly avoiding locks, heap allocations, or system calls to prevent buffer underruns. Developers need deep expertise in discrete-time Fourier analysis, digital filter design (biquads, IIR/FIR), and Ableton/Max external packaging conventions.
