Could you build this?

No Modifying and writing custom firmware for Elektron hardware synthesizers requires low-level embedded systems programming and reverse engineering proprietary hardware/DSP architectures.

What it would actually take: Building custom firmware requires reverse-engineering the target Elektron device's bootloader, microcontroller/DSP architecture (often ColdFire or ARM/SHARC DSPs), memory maps, and peripheral drivers via IDA Pro/Ghidra. Development involves writing embedded C/C++ or assembly, real-time audio DSP algorithms with strict sample-level latency constraints, and flashing custom ROMs with hardware debugging tools (JTAG/SWD) while risking bricking the hardware.
