I thought it could be updated over MIDI? Then all you'd need would be
a target tool chain and a MIDI interface.

I've modified ∗my∗ MP3 player. :->
It's just a pity that something as inherently malleable as software
needs to be locked down. In many of your manuals you suggest
component changes based on custom needs. This unit could be a really
interesting intersection of MOTM quality and custom MIDI flexibility.
Instead, it's more like the traces on the board. (Actually, worse
than that, since I can cut a trace and re-route!)
