Vibe coded firmwares for hardware synths

This is actually nicely working, read here:

I accidently bought a cheap M-Vave SMK-37 Pro last year. Since a hardware defect on mod wheel, I didn’t touch the device anymore, until now… There are plenty firmware variants for it avaialble now, and most are actually really good. Seems like there is a capable dual-core ARM cpu inside and the vendor barely did use that power in their original firmwares…

Have a look: SMK-37 x firmwares

The same seems to be happening with other hardware. Esp. Elektron devices were nicely hacked, too, adding lot of features. See first link above.

I am curious whether the recent Korg synths will be hacked, since those are a Linux ARM system inside… Korg OpSix, Multi/Poly, etc.

What do you think about it?

I love it!

(Especially regarding the polyend tracker, never clicked with the original set-up which started out buggy asf and only gradually got better, I feel the community with the help of AI can do much better)
