Some plugins leverage playhead information to perform audio processing tasks. Right now the only Python tool with this capability that I am aware of is DawDreamer: https://github.com/DBraun/DawDreamer Playhead code: https://github.com/search?q=repo%3ADBraun%2FDawDreamer+AudioPlayHead&type=code& However, the tool is not as friendly to use as Pedalboard and one requires to add significant amount of code to do simple tasks.
