EARLY STARTUP MENU
To access this menu, hold down the [FUNCTION] key while powering up the Analog Four. From here you can
perform a variety of tasks. To choose the different alternatives, press the corresponding [TRIG] key.
TEST MODE
To enter this mode, press the first [TRIG] key. If you have any trouble with your Analog Four and suspect it may
be due to a hardware problem, perform this self test. No errors should be reported as shown below. If that is not
the case, contact Elektron support or the retailer you bought the Analog Four from.
EMPTY RESET
To perform this operation, press the second [TRIG] key. All kits, patterns, Sounds and songs will be erased.
FACTORY RESET
When performing a factory reset on the Analog Four it will overwrite and re-initialize the active project (including
all pattern, kit, sound pool and global data). The +Drive project slot 1 will be overwritten and re-initialized. Sound
bank A and B will be overwritten with the factory Sounds. Factory pre-set patterns, kits, Sounds and settings will
be re-initialized.
If you wish to keep the active project, remember to save it to a +Drive project slot higher than 1 before you per-
form a factory reset. To perform a factory reset, press [TRIG] key 3.
OS UPGRADE
Choose this option by pressing the fourth [TRIG] key. The Analog Four will enter a waiting stage, listening for
incoming OS data. For the transfer to be possible, the device sending the OS syx-file should be connected to
the MIDI IN port of the Analog Four. USB MIDI transfers is not possible when in the EARLY START UP menu.
As the Analog Four receives the OS a progress bar will indicate the how much of the OS that has been received.
When upgrading, the <TRIG> LEDs will light up one after another. Please note that this procedure takes a while.
When the transfer is finished the message “PREPARING FLASH” appears. “PREPARING FLASH” is shortly fol-
lowed by “UPDATING FLASH”. When this process is finished the OS is updated.
• When performing the sending of the OS syx file, we recommend using our free SysEx utility C6. It
can be downloaded from the Elektron website.
• If the Analog Four is receiving the OS upgrade through the MIDI ports, use the Elektron TM-1 USB
MIDI interface for up to 10x transfer speeds.
