Question

It could be nice to have a git repository for the ATOM firmware, i'm sure a lot of us wanna dev stuff on it like scale modes, light show, sequencers, games, or etend some features

Answer 1

I highly doubt they will release firmware, but a VST plugin mechanism or some other API extensibility would be great....

Answer 2

I don’t think the hardware is capable enough and firmware hacking is not that easy.

You’d be better off using a software solution like the proxy I’m currently working on : https://github.com/ematech/AtomCtrl

It’s in the early stages of prototyping but seems promising.
