Vibe coding is turning the music gear world upside down

Vibe coding — using AI to write code from plain-language prompts — is now being applied to music hardware, with hobbyists hacking synths, drum machines and effects units to create custom firmware and features no manufacturer planned. Enthusiasts say it dramatically lowers the barrier to modifying gear, letting non-programmers reshape their instruments, while others raise concerns about stability and warranty risks.
