VOLTAGE TRIM
It is possible to trim the CV out voltage levels. These settings are stored in the machine without being connected
to any specific Project. Adjusting these values is mainly useful if you wish to send pulses with very exact voltage
levels, or to generate very specific voltages as a linear value and you believe that the factory trim is off.

Make sure you have a good voltmeter before proceeding. Connect a TRS cable to the output you want to trim.
Connect the volt meter’s negative terminal to the sleeve of the connector. Connect the positive terminal to either
the tip or the ring of the connector, depending on the channel you wish to trim.

Each CV output has three trim settings. Begin by selecting 0 V, then press and hold the [YES/SAVE] key. 0 V is
output as long as [YES/SAVE] is held down. Use [ARROW] keys [LEFT] / [RIGHT] or DATA ENTRY KNOB A
to adjust the voltage until your voltmeter shows exactly 0 V. Repeat the process for both 8 V settings (the first
one is for continuous voltage, the second is for pulse).

Note that adjusting the CV does not actually improve CV pitch control. If you have set up pitch control of an
external synth properly then any linear error has already been compensated for by that calibration. In fact, you
will have to reconfigure the CV pitch control after changing the values in the VOLTAGE TRIM Menu, because
you will have changed the point of reference.

SYSEX DUMP

In the SYSEX DUMP menu, kits, Sounds, patterns, songs and global slots can be sent and received. Select a
menu option using [UP]/[DOWN] or the SOUND SELECTION wheel. Press [YES/SAVE] to open the high-
lighted menu selection.

When receiving or sending SysEx data, the MIDI ports or the USB port of Analog Keys must be connected to the
external sending/receiving device.

If Analog Keys is sending or receiving SysEx data through the MIDI ports, use the Elektron TM-1
USB MIDI interface for up to 10x transfer speeds.

If the external device is a computer, we recommend using our free SysEx utility C6, which can be
downloaded from the Elektron website.
