To send the OS syx file, use our free Elektron Transfer software. Transfer can be downloaded from the Elektron website.
If your current device OS does not fully support Transfer, you will be automatically directed to Transfer’s LEGACY OS UPGRADE page after you drag and drop the OS file on the Transfer DROP page. Follow the instructions on the LEGACY OS UPGRADE page to proceed with the OS upgrade.
When the update is done the unit will restart by itself.
A progress bar is visible on device screen when receiving the OS.
When the update is done the unit will restart by itself.
After some upgrades the bootstrap is also upgraded. This upgrade is performed right after the first restart of the device. Do not turn the power off during the upgrade.
Downgrading the device OS is not supported, and is performed at your own risk. User content may be lost.

The Elektron development team
Added support for Overbridge 2.13.
Added an LED backlight setting that enables the possibility to turn the key backlight LEDs on/off. (SETTINGS > SYSTEM)
Added key shortcuts for the LED Intensity [SETTINGS] + [TRIG 1-3], and LED backlight [SETTINGS] + [TRIG 9] settings.
Improved the [TRACK] keys color scheme for the MUTE modes.
Support for updated production process.
It wasn’t possible to revert the changes made with the control all function.
The device could crash when a song row was added to a song that was cleared while it was playing.
Saving a song to a project now works the same as saving a pattern to a project. After using SAVE TO PROJ in the SONG menu, the song is saved without needing to save the project afterward. However, the project needs to be saved before switching to another project to retain the changes.
Latching FILL mode did not work.
In SONG mode, queuing a pattern to play after the song is complete while a song row is repeating was ignored and instead the pattern playing on the song row kept playing after the song ended.
In SONG mode, if a song row was set to loop indefinitely, queuing another row to play did not have any effect since it was not prioritized over playing the indefinitely looping row.
In SONG mode, the swing setting from a queued song could be carried over and affect the currently playing song.
There were sometimes intermittent glitches in the audio from the reverb when using USB audio.
The MASTER parameter page always reverted to page 1/3 when switching track.
Performing direct track transpose multiple times quickly could sometimes result in lag in how it was displayed on the screen.
The KB FOLD parameter setting was not pasted/cleared when pasting/clearing track note config.
The [NOTE] key was not lit when in keyboard setup.
Implemented Song mode. The [···] key has been re-purposed and is now the [SONG MODE] key. The PATTERN menu has been moved to the SETTINGS menu.
Added FOLD mode to the KEYBOARD mode.
Added additional scales to the KEYBOARD mode.
Improved keyboard graphics in the TRACK NOTE menu.
Renamed options in the SOUND OPERATIONS menu in the SOUND MANAGER.
Import to TRK > Load to TRK
Export to here > Save to here
The LFO waveform could sometimes be drawn with corrupt screen graphics.
There was an inconsistent behavior when going from a PARAMETER page that has a subpage to an FX page and then back again.
The TRK1 LEVEL parameter on the INTERNAL MIXER page was less responsive than for TRK2-4.
Fixed a number of issues related to settings made in the GLOBAL FX/MIX menu.
The effects were not active after startup/reboot.
Changing mute states from Overbridge plugin resulted in unexpected behavior.
It was not possible to copy the parameter settings from one LFO page to another.
It was not possible to copy or paste the INTERNAL MIXER pages parameter settings from one pattern to another.
When the Chorus page was open, it was not possible to close it by pressing SYN2.
Minor fixes to errors in the screen UI graphics.
Implemented an intensity setting for the LEDs and OLED screen. The option is located in the SYSTEM menu.
Added a GLOBAL FX/MIX menu item in the SETTINGS menu. In the GLOBAL FX/MIX menu, you have the option to set the parameters on the INTERNAL MIXER, EXTERNAL MIXER, CHORUS, DELAY, and REVERB pages, and also the OVERDRIVE parameter, to be global (making any change to these parameters affect all patterns in the project and not only the active pattern).
Added a filter envelope delay parameter.
Adding a full dual mono mode for the external inputs, allowing separate effects sends on each channel.
Rearranged the parameters on the LFO PARAMETER pages to harmonize with Digitakt. Now all parameters for LFO 1 are on Page 1, and all parameters for LFO 2 are on page 2. The graphics for the WAVE and PHAS parameters are also improved.
Added an option for the device to remember which of a PARAMETER page’s subpage you last used and access this page again next time you press the same [PARAMETER] key.
The LFO Fade envelope now resets also in FREE mode when LFO.T is set to ON.
FILTER MODE set to OFF is now illustrated with a dotted line in the UI.
Improved graphics for bipolar parameters.
Audio and sync could in some cases drop out when the device was used together with Overbridge.
Parameter values could wrap around when quickly turning a pushed down encoder.
Filter keytrack settings could sometimes erroneously get carried over from the previously used project.
Added Overbridge support for macOS Big Sur.
The first trig in the pattern was sometimes not triggered when controlling the Elektron device with an external MIDI clock, and MIDI transport was started.
Only the start of the chain was visible on screen when creating a new pattern chain.
Portamento could, under some circumstances, be present on voices last used on another track when picked up by the current track.
Notes could sometimes hang when controlling the device via Overbridge and using layered tracks.
Some special characters were not shown when used in a pattern name.
SysEx dumps could become corrupted when sent to certain computer software.
[Digitone Keys] The device could crash when repeatedly modifying notes with the keyboard while the sequencer was playing.
