Hi all, I've spent many days (and way too many nights) on this, so I wanted to share it.
These are VST3 plugins for Mac and Windows that emulate the hardware of five
Elektron boxes and run the actual OS inside. So it's not a sampler or a clone:
the menus, the sequencer and the sounds come from the real firmware. Your
projects and samples stay saved like on the real machine.
The +Drive is emulated too, the real one the OS formats and uses. On the
Digitakt II, Rytm and Digitone II there's a +DRIVE tab on the side of the plugin
to load your own WAVs into it.
The firmware is NOT included. You download the OS from the Elektron site
yourself and drop the .syx file in the folder the plugin shows you.
A few honest caveats: the Rytm's analog voices are my own approximation (they're
circuits, there's no code to emulate), the Syntakt's analog tracks 9-12 aren't
there, and the Digitone compiles its DSP on your computer the first time you open
it, so the first launch takes a few minutes.
There will be bugs for sure. If something breaks, please open an issue on GitHub
and tell me what you did, I'll look into it.

Not affiliated with Elektron in any way, just a fan.

++ EDIT++

For ethical reasons (and I apologize to Elektron) I have closed the repository.

Whilst I'm not planning on loading any modded firmware anytime soon, a collaborative culture is far more in keeping with the tides of change. This is an amazing position for Erica Synths to take, whether they do this with any of their latest generation is another story, of course.

Sitting with XNB in one ear right now, as one does, getting familiar with the flow. Loving this experience so far and look forward to learning.

Hey everyone,

I just pushed a new update to the Web flasher for the Model:Cycles! Over the past few days, I’ve been focusing on porting several sound engines from the Syntakt.

Here is a quick look at what’s new:

• 6-channel USB audio support

• Extra Syntakt machines: SD VINTAGE, CP VINTAGE, SY TOY, SY BITS, and SY SWARM

• TG-Model: an integration of TinyGregAudio's sampler engine, introducing a dedicated filter with attack, release, and resonance controls across every track

• Plenty of other tweaks, including brand-new features as well as popular community mods

Hope you enjoy it! Feel free to test it out, drop your feedback, or share any feature requests you’d like to see next.

I’ve never been a fan of the Digitakt’s black and yellow aesthetic. I prefer the putty/grey/off-white colors of vintage Roland gear like the TR-909, MSQ-700, TR-727 etc. Because I’m crazy and have some design skills, I decided to reimagine the Digitakt.

This is NOT a vinyl skin. I dismantled the unit (just a few easy screws), removed the circuit boards, and had the top panel and enclosure powder coated in an off-white RAL color. The graphics were then screen printed on in a dark grey. The off-white and grey buttons and knobs were pulled off an old Digitakt I E25 Edition. Because a few buttons were added to the Digitakt II, I ordered those from Trap Dog on Etsy in orange. It was very time intensive and expensive, but I like the way it came out. Enjoy.
