11.6 UPGRADE
Use this menu option when you want to upgrade the Model:Samples OS. Use our free Elektron Trans-
fer software to send the OS syx file. You can download the OS syx file and Transfer from the Elektron
website.
For the transfer to be possible, the device sending the OS syx file must be connected to either the MIDI
IN or USB port of Model:Samples.
Please note that the Model:Samples does not appear as an icon on your computer desktop.
1. Press LEVEL/DATA to make Model:Samples start listening for incoming OS SysEx data. If you wish
to cancel the waiting state, press [BACK].
2. Open Transfer and select Elektron Model:Samples as MIDI Input device as well as MIDI Output
device.
3. Drag and drop the syx file to the Transfer main window to send it to the Model:Samples.
A progress bar is visible on the Model:Samples screen when receiving the OS. When the process is suc-
cessfully completed, the OS is updated and the unit reboots.
