Latest release · 14 Oct 2026digihealth 1.1.1
Performance and diagnostics rows in SETTINGS, as elekloader mods. They cover the Digitakt (mk1) on OS 1.53 and 1.54, and now the Digitone (mk1) and Digitone Keys on OS 1.43 and 1.44.
- FAST AUDIO (Digitakt; on by default) runs the audio render's hot code from the free on-chip SRAM. It is the same code, so the audio is identical, and the DSP load is lower. Measured on a unit (1.53), the render went from 537 to 480 µs a block, and the DSP load from 80.5 to 72.0 %.
- SYSTEM INFO shows CPU, DSP, RAM and free sample memory in the top bar. A read-only USB diagnostics channel answers
tools/digiusb.py.
What's new in 1.1.1
- The Digitone mk1 and Digitone Keys on OS 1.44: SYSTEM INFO as
digihealth-1.1-os1.44.elemod, with the Digitone's core for 1.44 (core-dn1-2.0a-os1.44.elemod).- It is the same mod as on 1.43, with 1.44's addresses (#5).
- On 1.43,
digihealth-1.1.elemodis 1.1's code as before.
- The Digitakt files are rebuilt from the same source, and their code is 1.1's. Only their build record differs.
Which files
| your unit | stock OS file | mod | core |
|---|---|---|---|
| Digitakt mk1, OS 1.53 | Digitakt_OS1.53.syx | digihealth-1.0.elemod | core-2.1.elemod |
| Digitakt mk1, OS 1.54 | Digitakt_OS1.54.syx | digihealth-1.0-os1.54.elemod | core-2.1-os1.54.elemod |
| Digitone mk1 or Keys, OS 1.43 | Digitone_and_Digitone_Keys_OS1.43.syx | digihealth-1.1.elemod | core-dn1-2.0a.elemod |
| Digitone mk1 or Keys, OS 1.44 | Digitone_and_Digitone_Keys_OS1.44.syx | digihealth-1.1-os1.44.elemod | core-dn1-2.0a-os1.44.elemod |
- Other devices and OS versions: elekloader refuses a mod made for another device or OS version.
- The cores: they are elekloader 0.4.0's, built from its
mods/. The Windows and macOS apps bundle them from 0.4.0 on; from source, install the core with the mod. - Newer cores: digihealth needs only the hook bus, so it also links with the newer Digitone cores in the mod shop (2.3, 3.2).

Install
- Get elekloader 0.4.0 or later, and your unit's stock OS file from Elektron (the
.zipworks as it is). - In elekloader's window, Install from file the digihealth for your unit (from source, its core too). Tick it, and Build firmware.
- Send the
.syxto the unit as you would any OS update.
Recovery: hold FUNC while powering on for the startup menu, then send the stock OS file. elekloader never changes the bootloader.
Checked
In digikit's emulator, the Digitone on OS 1.44 with core-dn1-2.0a-os1.44.elemod:
- Firmware check: against stock 1.44, every stage passes and every screen is identical.
- SYSTEM INFO, switched on: it reads what 1.43 reads in the same session (CPU 14 %, DSP 12 % with a 59 % peak, RAM 13.8M), and it is drawn in the top bar.
- USB diagnostics: a request reaches the SysEx hook and is answered through the stock sender.

Getting started
From the project's README ("Install"):
You need three things:
- elekloader:
- Windows: download elekloader--windows.exe from elekloader's releases and run it. The core mod, which every linkable mod needs, is built in (the Digitone's from elekloader 0.4.0).
- Other systems: run elekloader from source with Python 3.9 or newer (see its README). There you also need the core for your device and OS (core-2.0a.elemod or core-2.1.elemod for the Digitakt on 1.53, core-2.1-os1.54.elemod on 1.54, core-dn1-2.0a.elemod for the Digitone), attached to this repository's releases too.
- This mod, from this repository's releases: digihealth-1.0.elemod for the Digitakt mk1 on OS 1.53, digihealth-1.0-os1.54.elemod on OS 1.54 (the same mod), or digihealth-1.1.elemod for the Digitone mk1 on OS 1.43, digihealth-1.1-os1.44.elemod on OS 1.44.
- The stock OS file: DigitaktOS1.54.syx or DigitaktOS1.53.syx, from Elektron's Digitakt downloads, or DigitoneandDigitoneKeysOS1.44.syx (or 1.43), from Elektron's Digitone downloads (the .zip works as it is). elekloader recognises the file by its hash.
Then build your OS in elekloader's window:
- Your stock OS file: elekloader asks for it the first time; Change stock firmware... (top right) picks another.
- Install from file...: choose the digihealth for your device and OS. From source, install its core the same way.
- Tick digihealth. core is ticked with it. The check below the list should …
Risk and recovery
- Brick risk
- Medium
