arpeggio_hack from Steven Shamlian: Adds polyphony by arpeggiating through the held notes. The full hack requires diodes on the switches to prevent key ghosting, but otherwise the Arduino code can work w/o any hardware changes... provided you only play certain chords or don't mind the occasional wrong note. Pretty interesting!
MozziScout from todbot: With some careful pin swapping on the ATmega328, the Scout can use Mozzi, the popular sound synthesis library for Arduino. For this hack, it's a good idea to plug into an amplifier — the new sounds your Scout will make are much richer than what its built-in speaker is capable!
2-piece Keyboard Mod from Cyb3rn0id: If your 3D printer can't easily do the color channge GCODE for the keyboard color swap, this mod splits the keys' colors into two parts that snap and glue together.
Arduino Soundlab from John Bradnam: Scout keys on a non-Scout synth? Sure! This hack swaps out the ATmega328 for an Arduino Nano and custom PCB to add FM synthesis.
