TechHow Akai and Moog are embracing vibe-coded mods

inMusic, parent of Akai, Moog and Native Instruments, plans to open source code for some devices and offer an SDK to help developers modify them with less risk of bricking equipment. CEO Jack O’Donnell says the company will support tinkering while keeping official software stable. Its NAMM Creator Lab will offer hands-on access to 22 products. Other music gear makers are also opening devices to mods, though Elektron warns that modified firmware can cause damage or affect warranties.
