Could you build this?
No Custom firmware for Elektron hardware requires reverse engineering the device's embedded firmware and its DSP and synthesis internals, which vibe coding can't supply. It also depends on hardware-specific memory layouts and calibration that must be verified on the device.
What it would actually take: The work involves disassembling the Digitone II's firmware (ARM Cortex-type), locating patch points, and rewriting or extending DSP and sequencer code without breaking the device. This needs embedded systems, binary analysis, and audio DSP expertise, plus physical hardware for testing. Firmware bugs can brick the instrument, so careful validation is needed.
