How to perform a factory reset

This information applies to Analog Four, Analog Keys, Analog Heat, Analog Rytm, Digitakt, Digitone, Digitone Keys, Syntakt, Model:Cycles, and Model:Samples


To perform a Factory Reset, hold down the Function button (ACTIVE/ON button for Analog Heat) while powering on the device, then press the appropriate button when the startup menu appears. When the reset has been completed, the unit will reboot.


When you perform a factory reset on Analog Keys or Analog Four, the following happens:

  • Project slot 001 will be overwritten and re-initialized with the factory preset project.
  • The currently loaded project will be cleared and the factory preset project will be loaded to memory.
  • Soundbanks A and B will be overwritten with the factory preset sounds.


The remaining project slots and sound banks will not be overwritten.


If you wish to keep the active project, remember to save it to a project slot higher than 001 before you perform the factory reset. If you have saved your own sounds to soundbanks A or B, you need to move them to a different bank if you want to keep them.


When you perform a factory reset on Analog Heat, the following happens:

Preset slots 001–016 will be overwritten with the factory presets. The remaining preset slots will be cleared.


When you perform a factory reset on Analog Rytm, the following happens:

  • Project slot 001 will be overwritten and re-initialized with the factory preset project.
  • The currently loaded project will be cleared and the factory preset project will be loaded to memory.
  • Soundbank A will be overwritten with the factory preset sounds.


The remaining project slots and sound banks will not be overwritten.


If you wish to keep the active project, remember to save it to a project slot higher than 001 before you perform the factory reset. If you have saved your own sounds to soundbank A, you need to move them to a different bank if you want to keep them.


When you perform a factory reset on a Digitakt or Digitakt II, the following happens:

  • Project slot 001 will be overwritten and re-initialized with the factory preset project.
  • The currently loaded project will be cleared and the factory preset project will be loaded to memory.
  • Sound/preset bank A will be overwritten with the factory presets.


The remaining project slots and sound/preset banks will not be overwritten. Any samples that you have transferred to the unit or recorded directly into the unit will remain on the +Drive after a factory reset.


If you wish to keep the active project, remember to save it to a project slot higher than 001 before you perform the factory reset. If you have saved your own sounds/presets to soundbank A, you need to move them to a different bank if you want to keep them.


When you perform a factory reset on Digitone or Digitone Keys, the following happens:

  • Project slot 001 will be overwritten and re-initialized with the factory preset project.
  • The currently loaded project will be cleared and the factory preset project will be loaded to memory.
  • Soundbanks A and B will be overwritten with the factory preset sounds.


The remaining project slots and sound banks will not be overwritten.


If you wish to keep the active project, remember to save it to a project slot higher than 001 before you perform the factory reset. If you have saved your own sounds to soundbanks A or B, you need to move them to a different bank if you want to keep them.


When you perform a factory reset on Syntakt, the following happens:

  • Project slot 001 will be overwritten and re-initialized with the factory preset project.
  • The currently loaded project will be cleared and the factory preset project will be loaded to memory.
  • Soundbanks A through E will be overwritten with the factory preset sounds.


The remaining project slots and sound banks will not be overwritten.


If you wish to keep the active project, remember to save it to a project slot higher than 001 before you perform the factory reset. If you have saved your own sounds to soundbanks A through E, you need to move them to a different bank if you want to keep them.


When you perform a factory reset on Model:Cycles or Model:Samples, the following happens:

  • Project slot 01 will be overwritten and re-initialized with the factory preset project.
  • The currently loaded project will be cleared and the factory preset project will be loaded to memory.


The remaining project slots and sound banks will not be overwritten.


If you wish to keep the active project, remember to save it to a project slot higher than 01 before you perform the factory reset.

Elektron power supplies (PSU)

Here you can find detailed specifications of the power supplies (PSU’s) for the different Elektron devices.


MODEL:SAMPLES, MODEL:CYCLES

Current Elektron power supply: PSU-4b. These devices were originally shipped with PSU-4 and still work with PSU-4. The PSU-4b power supply includes adapters for the following regions: North America, Continental Europe, the United Kingdom, Brazil, Japan, Korea, Australia, and China. The PSU-4b power supply handles voltages of 100-240 VAC, 50/60Hz.

The power supply you want to use must meet the following specifications:

  • Voltage: 5 VDC

  • Minimum Current Rating: 1.2 A

  • Barrel Connector Size: 3.5 mm outer diameter, 1.35 mm inner diameter

  • Polarity: Positive center


ANALOG RYTM MKI/MKII, ANALOG FOUR MKI/MKII, OCTATRACK MKII, ANALOG DRIVE, ANALOG HEAT MKI/MKII, DIGITAKT, DIGITONE, DIGITONE KEYS, SYNTAKT

Current Elektron power supply: PSU-3c. These devices were originally shipped with PSU-3, PSU-3b, or PSU-3c. All these devices work with PSU-3 and PSU-3b (With the exception of Analog Drive which doesn’t work with PSU-3). The PSU-3c power supply handles voltages of 100-240 VAC, 50/60Hz.

The power supply you want to use must meet the following specifications:

  • Voltage: 12 VDC

  • Minimum Current Rating: 2 A

  • Barrel Connector Size: 5.5 mm outer diameter, 2.5 mm inner diameter

  • Polarity: Positive center


MONOMACHINE MKII, MACHINEDRUM MKII, OCTATRACK MKI

Current Elektron power supply: PSU-2b. These devices were originally shipped with PSU-2. The PSU-2b power supply handles voltages of 100-240 VAC, 50/60Hz.

The power supply you want to use must meet the following specifications:

  • Voltage: 6 VDC

  • Minimum Current Rating: 3 A

  • Barrel Connector Size: 5.5 mm outer diameter, 2.5 mm inner diameter, 6 mm length

  • Polarity: Positive center


MONOMACHINE MKI, MACHINEDRUM MKI

Original (and now obsolete) Elektron power supply: PSU-1 (two versions depending on voltage standard)

Please note that the power supply output must be AC!

The power supply you want to use must meet the following specifications:

  • Voltage: 6 VAC, 50/60Hz

  • Minimum Current Rating: 2.5 A

  • Barrel Connector Size: 5.5 mm outer diameter, 2.5 mm inner diameter, 6 mm length


SIDSTATION

The power supply you use must meet the following specifications:

  • Voltage: 6 VDC

  • Minimum Current Rating: 400 mA

  • Barrel Connector Size: 5.5 mm outer diameter, 2.1 mm inner diameter

  • Polarity: Positive center


OVERHUB

In most cases, you don't need to use a power supply together with the Overhub. However, if you want to use it together with a non-self powered device (for example, an external hard drive), you must connect a power supply to the Overhub.

Please note that the Overhub is not shipped with a power supply.

The power supply you use must meet the following specifications:

  • Voltage: 5 V DC

  • Minimum Current: 4 A (3 A on earlier devices.) This number is written on the Overhub itself so you can see there which version you have.)

  • Barrel Connector Size: 3.5 mm outer diameter, 1.35 mm inner diameter, 6 mm length

  • Polarity: Positive center
