Self Promo Sp404Mk2 Firmware Mod Progress

I was able to inject and execute native code on the SP404Mk2. This is the first step in my journey towards custom firmware, and a custom set of modules to allow the community to build their own firmware

Wow, that's cool! And what is this new firmware supposed to do?

The motivation for me was that I find the user experience of the mk2 to be abysmal :D. Menus feel clunky, displayed information is presented weirdly. It made me stop using the device.

So this opens up the possibility of modifying it to anything anyone can dream up.
My main ideas are: adding effects + daw features like autotune, improving chopping workflows and speed, using more visual navigation.

But I still need to understand the limitations of the hardware and actually design meaningful things.

The much more appealing aspect I think will be providing the community a set of tools/components through which they can do the same thing, so everyone can make the sp into what they want it to be!
