15.4 OS UPGRADE

15. STARTUP MENU > 15.4 OS UPGRADE · PDF p. 84 · OS 1.42

Use this menu option if you for some reason cant upgrade the Syntakt OS using the standard procedure in the SYSTEM menu. To send the OS file, use our free Elektron Transfer software. The Elektron Transfer can be downloaded from the Elektron website.

  1. Download the Syntakt OS file from the Elektron website.
  2. Connect the Syntakt’s MIDI IN port to the MIDI OUT port of the computer’s MIDI interface.
  3. Hold down the [FUNC] key while powering on Syntakt. This takes you to the STARTUP menu.
  4. Press the [TRIG 4] key to enter OS UPGRADE mode.
  5. Open the Transfer application on your computer. On the Transfer CONNECTION page, click “go to the SYSEX TRANSFER page”.
  6. On the SYSEX TRANSFER page, click “OS Upgrade via device startup menu”, and then follow the on-screen instructions.

When the update is done, the Syntakt will reboot.

USB MIDI transfer is not possible when upgrading the OS from the STARTUP menu.
