Elektron no longer makes the Analog Keys.

What's new in 1.56

Bug fix: MIDI messages were sometimes not sent if the device tempo was set to very low BPMs (fixed in OS 1.55D, included in this update). OS 1.56 itself has no changes for the Analog Keys.

Add it to your rig to keep an inventory, track its used market price and get an alert if a new firmware ships.

Release notesopens in a new tab — elektron.se

Version 1.55D — 9 Sep 2026

Bug fixes: MIDI messages were sometimes not sent if the device tempo was set to very low BPMs.

Version 1.55B — 30 Jun 2026

Improvements: The oscillator’s FIN parameter is now decoupled from the TUN parameter when snapping or reaching the knob’s end positions. Bug fixes: Adding slew to the LFO’s random waveform did not work as intended. Applying Control All to the LFO’s DST made the destination menu flicker and difficult to use. Applying Control All to the arpeggiator’s parameters could sometimes incorrectly also affect the parameters on the OSC1 page. Changing the active track while using the Control All functionality made it impossible to revert changes made to the first track – only the changes to the last active track could be reverted. It was not possible to use Control All on the TRACK LEVEL parameter. Some items in the Release Notes were missing (now added to 1.55, below)

Version 1.55 — 10 Jun 2026

Improvements: Added an Euclidean mode for the sequencer. Added the Control All functionality. Press and hold [TRACK 1–4] while changing a parameter setting to apply the change to this parameter on all audio tracks in the pattern. You can now save a Sound from a specific trig on the sequencer, complete with its sound- and parameter locks applied. It is now possible to see which PARAMETER PAGES contain parameters with parameter locks. When pressing and holding specific trig in GRID RECORDING mode, the [PARAMETER] keys that contain parameters with locks light up. Implemented functionality that makes it possible to loop selected pattern pages. An arpeggiator sequence can now be rotated with [FUNC] + [LEFT]/[RIGHT]. Added the possibility of generating a random name from the naming screen when naming an object. Added slew functionality to the RND waveform for the LFOs. When RND is selected for the WAV parameter, the SPH parameter now sets the amount of slew. It is now possible to adjust the micro timing amount on all trigs on a track at the same time. [UP] and [DOWN] can now be used to navigate the Mod setup source to destination list. [MKII] Added an LED intensity setting parameter in GLOBAL SETTINGS > SYSTEM.

Version 1.52 — 16 Oct 2024

Improvements: Added support for Overbridge 2.13.

Version 1.51 — 7 Apr 2021

Version 1.50A — 21 Oct 2020

Version 1.50 — 24 Sep 2020

Version 1.40A — 19 Nov 2019

Version 1.40 — 21 Oct 2019
