Could you build this?
Partial The plugin wrapper and UI are achievable, but the core audio-to-MIDI transcription depends on an existing model (MuScriptor), and a real-time VST3/AU plugin is demanding C++ work with DAW compatibility issues.
What it would actually take: Build a JUCE-based C++ plugin that exports VST3 and AU formats, then run an inference engine (such as ONNX Runtime or LibTorch) that loads the transcription model locally. The hard parts are real-time-safe audio threading, model latency, and per-instrument separation quality. This needs audio plugin development experience and ML inference optimization.
