To send the OS syx file, use our free Elektron Transfer software. Transfer can be downloaded from the Elektron website.

Upgrading from within the OS

• Connect the Elektron device to the computer via USB and switch it on.
• Open the Transfer application on your computer.
• On the Transfer CONNECTION page, set the MIDI IN and MIDI OUT ports to your Elektron device.
• On the Transfer DROP page, drag and drop the OS file. The OS file is then automatically transferred to the Elektron device and the OS update initiates. A progress bar is visible on device screen when receiving the OS.
• On your device. Press [YES] to confirm the OS update.

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.

Upgrading from the STARTUP menu

Upgrading using the STARTUP Menu is broken in all OSes before OS 1.1 and may leave you without a working operating system, do not do this!

• Connect the Elektron device to the computer via the device’s MIDI port. (You cannot use the USB port).
• Hold down the [FUNC] button while powering on the Elektron device. This takes you to the STARTUP menu.
• Press the [TRIG 4] key to enter OS UPGRADE mode.
• Open the Transfer application on your computer.
• On the Transfer CONNECTION page, click “LEGACY OS UPGRADE mode”
• On the Transfer LEGACY OS UPGRADE mode page browse to, and select, the downloaded OS syx file.
• Select your MIDI interface.
• In Transfer, press “UPGRADE”.

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 Analog Keys beyond version 1.1 is not possible.

Downgrading the device OS is not supported, and is performed at your own risk. User content may be lost.
