to incoming data.
• When receiving to a specific list position, any subsequent data will be received on the
next position, or positions, in the list.
• The Digitone can receive SysEx data at any time, regardless of the currently active
menu. The data will be loaded into the position specified when it was saved, or the first
free slot if unspecified.
14.5 SYSTEM
The System menu contains OS UPGRADE and FORMAT +DRIVE options for the Digitone.
14.5.1 OS UPGRADE
Use this menu option when you want to upgrade the Digitone OS. Use our free Elektron Transfer soft-
ware to send the OS syx file. You can download the Elektron Transfer software and the OS syx file from
the Elektron website.
You must connect the device you use to send the OS syx file to either the MIDI IN or USB port of Digi-
tone for the transfer to be possible.
Please note that the Digitone does not appear as an icon on your computer desktop.
1. Press [YES] to make Digitone start listening for incoming OS SysEx data. If you wish to cancel the
waiting state, press [NO].
2. Open Elektron Transfer and select Elektron Digitone for MIDI Input device as well as MIDI Output
device.
3. Drag and drop the syx file to the Elektron Transfer main window to send it to the Digitone.
A progress bar is visible on the Digitone screen when receiving the OS. When the process is completed,
the OS is updated, and the unit reboots.
