Amazing! Is there any chance you'd know how to add my little digital addition? https://github.com/kzalesak/Digisynth

Or alternatively, what changes would it need to be eligible?

There are a few requirements on the about page (published schematics, firmware and a video demo):

Cool project! Why do you call it digital though? The oscillator is analog
Well, the oscillator is a Schmitt trigger. The trigger waits for a capacitor to discharge pas a hysteresis point, but uses discrete voltage levels to switch. So, maybe semi-analog?
I would consider a synth digital if it contains a DAC or at least a DCO, otherwise you'd say that relaxation oscilators are analog too :)
