Could you build this?

Partial The chord, bass, drum, and looper logic is vibe-codeable, but shipping a VST3/AU plugin needs realtime audio DSP work, JUCE or similar C++ framework knowledge, and code signing and notarization on Mac and Windows.

What it would actually take: Use JUCE (C++) to build the plugin with the audio thread kept lock-free, implementing in-key chord generation, a bass follower, a tempo-synced drum engine, and a multi-layer looper with WAV and MIDI export. Debugging realtime audio glitches, DAW compatibility, and cross-platform builds requires someone experienced with audio plugin development. Distribution also requires Apple notarization and Windows code signing.
