Elektron Music Machines

December 11, 2018

How to upgrade:

Upgrading from within the OS

• Select SYSTEM in the SETTINGS menu, and then select OS UPGRADE.

• Send the SysEx firmware file to the Digitone 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 OS upgrades the bootstrap is also upgraded. This operation must not be aborted, so
never turn the power off until the Digitone tells you to reboot.

Upgrading from the Early Startup Menu

• Hold down the [FUNCTION] button while powering on. This takes you to the Digitone boot
menu.
• Enter the OS UPGRADE mode by pressing the [TRIG 4] key.
• Send the SysEx firmware file to the Digitone 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 Digitone, do not turn the power off during the upgrade.
To transfer the SysEx file, Elektron recommend using either Elektron Transfer application or The
Elektron C6 Tool.
Downgrading the Digitone OS is not supported, and is performed at own risk. User content may be
lost.
Should you experience any problems or find any bugs, please report to Elektron support:

Enjoy!
