How Akai and Moog are embracing vibe-coded mods

inMusic CEO Jack O'Donnell told The Verge that the company will give the modding community a toolbox, including open-sourcing code for devices like the teased MPC Sample Key and an SDK to make modifications easier and reduce bricking risk. At NAMM, inMusic's Creator Lab will let musicians hack 22 new products across its brands, including Moog, and O'Donnell said the effort "wasn't on our task list five weeks ago." Elektron has expressed mixed feelings, banning links to hacks and modified firmware on its official forums over concerns about damaging instruments.
