No Skiff is firmware for a specific piece of hardware (the M-VAVE FM-1 groovebox), with real-time audio synthesis, drum engines, and a sequencer running on embedded processors. Building it requires embedded systems and real-time DSP expertise plus the physical device for testing.
What it would actually take: The stack would be embedded C or C++ targeting the device's MCU or SoC, with an audio callback that must meet hard real-time deadlines and a DSP library for synth and drum engines. The browser editor would sit on top of a MIDI or SysEx protocol that the firmware implements. Building it needs embedded audio DSP engineers and the FM-1 hardware, along with a debugging setup for real-time audio.
