By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

InMusic, the parent company of Akai, Moog, and Native Instruments, is embracing the open-source and modding community by providing tools and SDKs for its devices. This initiative aims to allow users to customize hardware like the MPC Sample Key, with plans to make code open source and offer a "reset button" for experimental users. The company will showcase this at NAMM with its "Creator Lab," featuring 22 new products across its brands, including Moog synthesizers. This move follows similar open-source efforts by companies like Erica Synths and Polyend, despite some concerns from manufacturers like Elektron about potential damage to instruments. AI
