using arcade buttons for untztrument?
Can I hook up led arcade button or other panel mount buttons instead of using the Trellis control PCBs for the untztrument (https://learn.adafruit.com/untztrument- ... instrument)? would this have to change the code at all? what would be the best way to wire all the buttons together?

It would change the code significantly.
The UNTZtrument code is an extension of the Trellis code.. class Adafruit_UNTZtrument is a subclass of class Adafruit_TrellisSet.
Each Trellis has an HT16K33 chip that reads the buttons and controls the LEDs. The data for the whole matrix goes in and out the I2C bus rather than being wired to an array of switches.
If you wanted to use different buttons, it would be easiest to use the Trellis as a breakout and solder the button connections to its surface pads.
