EARLY STARTUP MENU

To access this menu, hold down the [FUNCTION] key while powering up the Machinedrum.

From here you can perform a variety of maintenance tasks. To choose the different alterna-

tives, press the corresponding [TRIG] key.

TEST MODE

To enter this mode, press the first [

TRIG] key. If you have any trouble with your Machine-

drum and suspect it may be due to a hardware problem, perform this self test. Everything

should come up as shown below. If not, contact Elektron support.

Here you can also check that every button and knob work as intended. Press the buttons

and turn the knobs and the <SOUND SELECTION> LEDs should light up. If something

does not work as supposed, please contact Elektron Support.

EMPTY RESET

To perform this operation, press the second [

TRIG] key. This reset will clear all kits, pat-

terns, songs and global settings. If you have a Machinedrum UserWave, an empty reset

will still retain the ROM samples in memory.

FACTORY RESET

To perform this operation, press the third [TRIG] key. This reset restores all patterns, kits,

songs and globals to the factory presets that was preinstalled when the Machinedrum orig-

inally shipped. For the Machinedrum UserWave, all ROM samples will also be reverted to

the factory defaults.

SOFT RESET

To perform this operation, press the fourth [TRIG] key. This is a milder form of reset which

will retain all data inside your Machinedrum. After a SOFT RESET no ROM samples will be

loaded for the Machinedrum UserWave. This might fix potential sample-related problems in

the sample manager.

MIDI UPGRADE

By choosing this option, the Machinedrum prepares itself to receive an OS upgrade via

IDI.
