How to upgrade:
−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−
- Hold down the [FUNCTION] button while powering up.
- This should take you to the Machinedrum boot menu.
- Enter the “MIDI Upgrade” mode by pressing [5 LT].
- Send either the SYSEX or the MIDI firmware file to the Machinedrum.
To transfer the SYSEX file we recommend using C6 − Sysex Tool by Elektron.
After starting the transfer you should see the trig LED’s lighting
up, and when the update is done the unit should reset itself and
boot the new OS.
Detailed instructions are available in the EARLY STARTUP MENU chapter
in the latest Machinedrum users manual.
PLEASE BACKUP ALL USER DATA VIA SYSEX BEFORE UPGRADING.
BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY.

List of changes from Machinedrum SPS-1 OS X.03 to X.04
Updates
** Three new GND machines are now available. **
GND-SN-PRO is a compatible model for GND-SN, featuring up to 4 sine OSCs.
GND-SW is a sawtooth/triangle machine with up to 3 variable waveform OSCs.
GND-PU is a pulse wave machine with adjustable duty ratio and up to 3 OSCs.
All new GND machines have relative pitches for additional OSCs, and UNISON
capability.
** The following machines gain a new tuning setting: **
GND: SN SW PU
TRX: BD SD XT RS CB CL XC B2 S2
EFM: BD SD XT CP RS CB HH CY
The “EDIT KIT” menu is updated to incorporate the tuning setting per-track. In
addition to SYNTH, MACHINE and RELATE, one can use [LEFT]/[RIGHT] keys to
access the tonality setting in the right upper corner of the menu, and toggle
between “DEFAULT” and “TONAL” with [UP]/[DOWN] keys.
“TONAL” tuning implements a quater-tone equal tempered tuning scale across the PTCH
parameter of selected machines. When enabled, TONAL has the added benefit of
increasing the machine’s maximum tuning range.
** Machinedrum Kit version increased to 64.1 **
Kit dumps from X.04 firmware will be tagged with version 64 revision 1.
Machinedrums running an older firmware will not support these dumps indicated by
a “SYSEX ERROR 4” message.
Changes from Kit Version 4.1 to 64.1:
When set, bit 17 of uint32_t model indicates the model tuning is tonal.
** TRX-S2 decay and noise parameters sensitivity has been improved" **
** New LFO shapes are available: SINE, REV-LINEAR, REV-EXP, NOTCH and STEP. **
** Trigger groups can be arbitrarily chained. **
For example, you can set track 1 to trigger track 2 and track 2 to trigger
track 3, and thus track 1 will trigger all three tracks.
** Triggers can now be previewed in step editing mode. **
Hold a P-locked trigger and press [ENTER] will preview the P-locked sound.
** Solo Mode **
From the mute menu, you can now toggle between MUTE/SOLO mode with [ENTER].
The toggle also functions as a mute inversion tool, so that you can switch
between two playback states.
** Mute/solo actions are now transmitted via MIDI. **
** Trig Interface (TI) Extended Response: **
The TI has been extended to respond to press and release of some command keys.

Awesome update, the new gnd machines and the solo modo are ace, thank you so much guys, there is just one (well two) things I miss from their young sis that is scale length and trig conditions a x0.5 version with that would blow my head

Wow!

You guys should be hired by Elektron to put the Machinedrum on par with the other Elektron Machines and get paid for what you’ve already done.
On par : Trig Conditions, Step Length, Microtiming, …

I have updated my MD SPS-1 (original 2-bar) with C6 this morning and everything’s good.

i can confirm this is also the case for me … unable to rename samples… with sample manager …
but im unsure if this is due to the fact that i had not named them before ? … because before upgrading i had a ROM set full of un named “. . . . .” samples that i just didnt get around to naming yet … and they were carried to the new X0.4 so im not sure if this is the issue or if its just not possible to RNAME in X0.4
yes it appeared i wasnt able to make a topic post … until granted the “trust” permission…
i did that now tho … not sure if it shows up tho …
May i make a request? for a future upgrade…
1.Please allow us to remove notes in play+rec mode with the EXIT/NO button ala … monomachine style… this would be totally awesomer…
- Is it possible to add a LOCKS menu to the Copy/Paste/Clear function … when in step edit mode, to function removing all locks on an existing track or copying and pasting them to a new track ?..
Also … possible to allow entering notes when a track is muted? this is one of the features i also really like in the Monomachine … and would be great to find on the Machinedrum too

I agree that the this is a feature not a bug…btw…THANK YOU FOR THIS! First time finding my way back to Elektronauts in probably a decade or more…this is “Shagghie” (aka Highsage) from 20 years ago through 2010 or so… 
This MD OS update got me back out of the woodwork, and am about to fire up the green-display/LED machinedrum again for the first time in quite a while!

I still remember your green MD.
Welcome back.

i commented on that threat just now, but in my experience, never noticed this after 10+ years banging on two machine drums.
Hey Justin! Thank you… good to be back. Is there individual track length per part at this point? that was only reason i stepped away from MD at one point…

Honestly, that would be the icing on the cake, PLEASE

The MegaCommand will give you the modern sequencer upgrade for the MD. Individual track length/scales, microtiming, conditional trigs etc…

I noticed that @JustinValer had actually posted on that thread too and confirmed the bug years ago! Crazy that’s who I was corresponding with.
I’m just shocked no one else seems to care. It literally trips me up every time I use it. So badly that I just sequence it from other gear. It’s still a great drum synth, even without messing with internal sequencing…
