This is an independent community for people who open up, hack and build music hardware: custom firmware, hardware mods, DIY synths, Eurorack and everything in between. Whether you’re flashing a groovebox or soldering your first kit, you’re welcome here.
Look for local meetups, workshops and build nights in Communities & Events, or post your own.
Please read before you flash anything
- Hacktronauts is not affiliated with Elektron, Elektronauts, or any other manufacturer or community. Please don’t take questions about custom firmware to official support channels.
- Flashing custom firmware or modifying hardware can brick your device and void your warranty. Everything here is at your own risk.
- Know how to recover before you flash. Check Recovery & Unbricking first.
How things work here
- Don’t upload firmware files. Link to builds on GitHub or similar, with source where possible.
- Tag your topic with the device(s) it applies to.
- Share what you learn, including failures. A write-up of what bricked your unit helps the next person.
- Be kind. Everyone here was a beginner once.
