SEND UPGRADE
With this option you can send the OS installed in your Octatrack to a friend’s unit.
1.
Connect the MIDI OUT on the Octatrack with the latest OS to the MIDI IN on the Octa-
track that is going to be upgraded. Enter the EARLY STARTUP menus on both
machines.
2.
Enter the MIDI UPGRADE mode in the Octatrack that is supposed to be upgraded by
pressing the third [TRIG KEY]. Make sure you see the message “READY TO RECEIVE
MIDI UPGRADE…” on the screen.
3.
Press the fourth [TRIG] key on the Octatrack that is used to send the OS upgrade. This
will start the transmission of the OS to the other Octatrack.
•
For faster OS updates, utilize the speed of the Elektron TurboCharge protocol. You
will need to have the MIDI IN port of the receiving machine connected to the MIDI
OUT port of the transmitting machine and vice versa for this to function.
•
The most convenient way of upgrading the OS is by updating from the Compact
Flash card. This is performed in the OS UPDATE menu. Read more about this
menu in the section “SYSTEM” on page 31.
