Super cool. I wish Novation would do this with the Peak and Summit. Their firmware development slowed when Chris Huggett passed, and maybe the community could help out.
I wish all of them would do this. Elektron seems to be adding Rust to their platforms (going by job ads), and most of their new hardware seems ripe for letting people extend them, but same story as for most hardware producers, the firmware is pretty locked down.
Novation flirted with open source with the LaunchPad Pro. Afaik it never really took off - I imagine that’s playing a part in not open sourcing future hardware
