Upgrading from within the OS

• Select SYSTEM in the SETTINGS menu, and then select OS UPGRADE.
• Send the SysEx firmware file to the Analog Heat +FX either using the MIDI In Port or the USB MIDI In Port.
• 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 restarting the Analog Heat +FX. Do not turn the power off during the upgrade.

Upgrading from the Startup Menu

• Press and hold the [ACTIVE] key while powering on. This opens the STARTUP menu.
• Press [MOD] to enter the OS UPGRADE mode.
• Send the SysEx firmware file to the Analog Heat +FX using the MIDI In Port.

During the transfer, a bar in the display shows the progress.

When the update is done the unit will restart by itself, booting the new OS.

After some upgrades the bootstrap is also upgraded, this upgrade is performed right after the first restart of the Analog Heat +FX. Do not turn the power off during the upgrade.

To transfer the SysEx file we recommend using C6 – SysEx Tool by Elektron.

Downgrading is generally not recommended as user data may be lost.

Please report any bugs you may find using support found at http://www.elektron.se/support

Improvements

Added support for Overbridge 2.13.

Improvements

Added a momentary toggle option for the [ACTIVE] key. With this option enabled, the device is active only when the [ACTIVE] key is pressed and held. This functionality can be switched on and off in the SETTINGS > OPTIONS menu.

Added an OUTPUT GAIN parameter in the PRESET SETUP menu to improve output level handling.

Added an FX TO USB parameter in the AUDIO ROUTING menu to improve the audio level over USB.

Added functionality to randomize and reload TRACK PARAMETER page parameters. When on a parameter page, Press [PARAMETER] key + [YES] to randomize all parameters on that section’s page(s). Press [PARAMETER] key + [NO] to revert to the default parameter settings.

Improved the indication of whether the Heat block is bypassed or not. Now, the panel LEDs are off when the Heat block is bypassed.

Added slew functionality to the RND waveform for the LFOs. When RND is selected for the WAVE parameter, the START parameter now sets the amount of slew.

Implemented the possibility of generating a random name from the naming screen when naming a preset. This is done by turning the CIRCUIT SELECTOR knob when in the NAMING screen.

Added the possibility to confirm a modulator destination by pressing the encoder.

Improved graphical UI and procedural steps for the load and save operations to make it more intuitive and less prone to user error.

Improved the Compressor Dry/Wet mixing law.

Added the functionality that the PARAMETER PAGE menu is always shown when NAVIGATION is pressed and turned on a parameter page. The menu is then closed when releasing NAVIGATION.

Improved the PARAMETER PAGE menu graphics.

When bypassing FX blocks, pop-up screens are now smaller to enhance the visibility of the underlying screens.

Bug fixes

Only the default MIDI channels worked for MIDI input.

There was an inconsistency for the Modulation matrix’s DEPTH parameter regarding the resolution of the parameter values.

The support for BANK and SBANK MIDI messages was missing.

Under some circumstances, there could be a timing issue when manually triggering an LFO.

A previously edited parameter could briefly show in the screen header when adjusting an FX block’s MIX parameter.

The parameter values in the Modulation matrix were not initialized when pressing [MOD] + [NO].

There were several issues with the graphical UI on the tap tempo menu when using an external footswitch.

The output VU metering and clipping indicator were not displayed correctly.
