Getting started
From the project's README ("How to use it"):
- Open the page and drop your Elektron OS file. Its OS version must match your unit.
- Choose mods. First time: tick nothing. That gives the Control build (Elektron's code repacked, nothing else). Flash it first; if the unit starts and plays normally, the route works.
- Build and check. Takes about 10-15 seconds.
- Download, then flash with Elektron Transfer: drag the file onto DROP, press YES on the unit, do not power off during the update or the first start. Back up your projects first. Add one mod at a time, each only after the one before behaved.
- Keep Elektron's original file: the startup-menu recovery route sends it (hold FUNC, FUNCTION on the Keys, while powering on, then TRIG 4 = OS UPGRADE; DIN MIDI only). The page lists the exact steps per device.
The mods never change the unit's recovery code, and the page checks that byte for byte before offering a download.
