Description
The page builds a patched OS in your browser from your own official file and can send it over USB. It bundles Model-TG, Chord Keys and drumkilla's tweaks as options (Chord Keys and Model-TG cannot be combined; LFO 2/3/4 and the per-track filter exclude each other). Cycles OS for Model:Samples and the return trip are marked experimental. Returning from Samples OS on a Cycles needs a MIDI interface.
Install notes
Drop your official OS file into the flasher page, pick mods, download and send with Elektron Transfer or flash over USB. Back up first.
