Could you build this?
No Writing unofficial embedded firmware modifications for proprietary synthesizer hardware (Elektron Model:Cycles) requires embedded systems engineering, reverse engineering binary firmware, and real-time DSP programming.
What it would actually take: The build requires reverse-engineering the target MCU/DSP architecture (often ARM Cortex-M or dedicated audio DSPs) using tools like Ghidra, analyzing binary firmware images, and patching assembly/C code. Developing an on-device sampler and audio FX requires real-time DSP algorithms written in C or assembly that fit within tight memory and cycle constraints without bricking the device. Deep embedded hardware hacking and real-time audio engineering expertise are mandatory.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a hardware & robotics tool for Horizontal yet.
