Loadable machines and effects for your Elektron box.

Patch your firmware once. After that, load new machines and effects as modules over USB, and change them without flashing again. Nothing to download: it all runs in your browser.

Patch your firmwareBrowse modules

Works in Chrome or Edge.

  • Your firmware file stays on your computer
  • Checked before anything reaches your device
  • Experimental: keep your stock .syx so you can flash back
  • Open source, AGPL-3.0

Three steps, no installs

  1. Drop in your firmware

    Use the stock .syx from Elektron. digikit names the device and OS version.

  2. Add digikit

    Your firmware gets a small add-on that loads modules from the card. You choose machines and effects later, in Transfer.

  3. Patch, then flash

    Download the patched .syx, or send it to your device from this page.

Modules

Machines, effects and tools you load onto your device over USB. Add or change them without flashing again.

If something goes wrong

If a module stops your box from starting, it boots without modules after two failed tries and shows you why. If a module locks up the sound engine, the box restarts without modules and tells you which one. You can also hold RECORD at power-on to start without modules.

digikit is experimental for now, tested in the emulator, and a stable 1.0 is the goal. It doesn't touch the bootloader, but keep your stock .syx.

Supported firmware

digikit patches and runs these stock releases. Any other file is refused before anything changes.

Write your own

The repo has a desktop workbench with a full emulator of both boxes, a debug module, remote control and a test suite. The SDK is still changing. You build it from source and bring your own .syx.

Before you flash

Every module is experimental. Back up your projects and keep the stock .syx so you can flash back.
