Improvements: The device now displays a warning message on startup if the previous session ended with an abrupt power-off. Bug fixes: The device became unresponsive when switching to PER PATTERN mode with RESET set higher than 256. Loading a project with PERFORM Mode enabled could cause multi-instruments and subtracks to loose their sample assignments. Pattern transpose was not applied to MIDI machines on bus tracks. Track transpose was not displayed for MIDI machines on bus tracks. Quick-transpose gave no visual feedback on the screen while an FX track overlay was active. Playing notes from the [KEYBOARD], the [TRIG] keys or from external MIDI did not reset parameter locks. A trig containing a parameter lock placed on the subtrack could also affect other trigs on the same subtrack. Push-turning an encoder while adding a parameter lock did not work. It was not possible to copy and paste the TRIG PARAMETERS page with its parameters on subtracks. Clearing the TRIG PARAMETERS page on a subtrack did not reset its parameter values. Recalling the last memorized state of a subtrack’s TRIG PARAMETERS page had no effect. MIDI NRPN control of parameters on subtracks 2–8 was mapped incorrectly. Parameter controls moved too quickly when trying to use snap values while editing a parameter lock.
Download the OS zip from the Elektron support page, extract the .swu file, connect Tonverk via USB, enable USB Disk Mode in the device settings, then copy the .swu file to the root of the SD card.
Improvements: Added Overbridge multi-channel USB audio streaming. Velocity and Keytracking are now available as modulation sources, each able to modulate up to four parameters. Added the possibility to transpose patterns in semitones ([PTN] + [+]/[−]). Added a PRE/POST FADER setting in the AUDIO ROUTING menu. It is now possible to copy, paste and clear patterns without leaving the current pattern. This is done in the pattern selection view. The Presets menu now has filter and search functionality. It is now possible to swap the order of the FX1 and FX2 slots on Audio tracks and Bus tracks. This is done in the TRACK SETUP menu on the FX page. It is now possible to freely select a MIDI channel for each track. Added support for recalling a PARAMETER page from its last memorized state using [PARAMETER PAGE] + [NO]. Added the possibility to clear a modulation macro page’s settings. Added the Send FX tracks as input sources in the Recorder. General performance, stability, and UI improvements. Bug fixes: The Shape SRC machine stopped passing audio through when HOLD was set to NOTE for trigs longer than 10 seconds. It was possible to save a sample without naming it. The SD card could fail to remount when ejected and inserted repeatedly. The device could become unresponsive when it received a MIDI Program Change message with PROG CH RECEIVE enabled. A MIDI Program Change message could also cause unexpected parameter changes while Tonverk was in Song mode. Parameter locked PROB settings were ignored when evaluating PRE and NEI trig conditions. The INF value could not be reached for the Supervoid Reverb FX machine’s DECAY parameter. The parameter lock view of the Wavefinder machine’s POS parameter incorrectly switched to showing other playing voices. It was not possible to exit USB Disk Mode when the other USB port was connected to a power bank. [...]
Version 1.3.3 — 7 May 2026
Bug fixes: The automatic file system check and repair introduced in OS 1.3.2 has been removed. On some SD cards with a large number of files, it could take a long time and sometimes cause a project to fail to load.
Version 1.3.2 — 29 Apr 2026
Improvements: Added Undo/Redo support for pasting track presets. Automatic backups of the active project no longer appear in the Projects list. When a non-PD power supply is used, an error message “INSUFFICIENT POWER!” is displayed. Tonverk now attempts to automatically repair errors in the SD card file system. General performance, stability, and UI improvements. Bug fixes: The highlighted instrument in the Instrument Selection menu would move around visually while the content scanning after boot was in progress. Attempting to load an instrument or preset while other samples were still loading could unexpectedly change the project’s sample assignments. Pressing [FUNC] + [NO] in the Sample Browser would incorrectly open the Samples Menu instead of going back to the SRC page. Turning off page loop would jump immediately instead of waiting until the start of the next step. If a file failed to delete, no error message was shown in the UI. Deleted files could still appear in the File Browser after being deleted. Holding [MUTE] + [TRK 1–16] while in GRID RECORDING mode would incorrectly highlight placed parameter locks. When previewing samples in the File Browser, audio artifacts could occur and notes could hang. Some parameters could not be reset to their default value using MIDI CC/NRPN. Some parameters of the Wavefinder SRC machine did not respond to MIDI CC/NRPN. Releasing [FUNC] before [NO] when deleting text could close the NAMING menu. Pressing [FUNC] + [YES] while entering text in the NAMING menu would insert the previous character instead of a space. Errors in the accounting of the sample memory could cause an out-of-memory condition. Send effects would sometimes not work as expected after loading a project. In some circumstances, the analog outputs played the incoming audio from the USB input too loud during restart. The project list in the File Browser did not automatically scroll to the active project when opened. [...]
Version 1.3.1 — 9 Apr 2026
Bug fixes: The Wavefinder SRC machine’s parameters did not have any MIDI CC mappings. It was not possible to access full parameter ranges using NRPN-based MIDI messages. The VU meters on the Recorder page were not rendering consistently. Certain Bus/Send/Main FX parameter locks were not working as intended. Exiting PERFORM mode could unexpectedly unload samples of an instrument previously loaded to the pattern. Loading a project could unexpectedly change sample assignments of loaded instruments. Choke group assignments for Subtracks SRC machine subtracks were not being saved with the preset. Samples and wavetables located in the root of the SD card that were loaded to the project were not displaying a slot ID in the Sample Browser. In some circumstances, loading certain presets could cause the device to become unresponsive. The Song row’s LENGTH parameter did not override the reset length. MIDI NRPNs were unable to reach the full range of certain parameters. The HP.MON parameter was being reset to its default value instead of keeping its previous value after a Pattern Recall/Paste. AIF sample files did not show up in the Sample Browser. Subtracks could appear as muted in songs in projects created before version 1.3.0, even when no song row mutes had been applied.
Version 1.2.1 — 4 Feb 2026
Improvements: Added Undo/Redo functionality for paste/clear operations of sequencer pages. It is now possible to rotate the ARP sequence using [FUNC] + [LEFT]/[RIGHT]. The active subtrack is now remembered per track. Bug fixes: It was not possible to apply micro-timing to individual notes in STEP EDIT mode. Pasting trigs outside the configured sequence length could cause the device to become unresponsive. DIN MIDI had timing problems (jitter) when large amounts of MIDI data were sent to the device. Encoders A-D on the AMP parameter page controlled the ADSR parameters even if ENVELOPE MODE was set to AHD. Minor improvements to screen and device UI. General performance and stability improvements.
Version 1.2.0 — 17 Dec 2025
Improvements: Added the Steel Box Reverb FX machine for Bus, Send FX, and Mix tracks. Added the Filter Folder FX machine for all tracks. The Daisy Delay FX machine is now available for all tracks. The Frequency Warper FX machine is now also available for tracks 1-8. Added Random playback mode to the arpeggiator. Added PATTERN MUTE mode. Gain reduction amount is now shown in the Compressor UI. Audio combined from inputs A and B is added as a compressor sidechain source. Added audio from the Bus tracks outputs as a sidechain source for the compressor when placed on the Mix track. It is now possible to start the sampling in the Recorder by pressing PLAY. Improved tempo stability when simultaneously receiving clock and large amounts of MIDI data from an external source. Chord mode now also affects what happens when placing trigs in GRID RECORDING mode or when using STEP EDIT. The GRAINER SRC machine can now play shorter samples. Improved the sample loading priority when changing patterns. Added the [FUNC]+[NO] shortcut to exit the Sample browser. Active track and parameter page selection, TRIG mode, FILL mode, sequence lane, keyboard octave, transition, and quantization settings are now saved in the project. Added protection against infinite MIDI All-Sound-Off cycles. Added control of Global track mutes over MIDI CC (94). It is now possible to manually cancel the Auto-sampler’s timing test. Added snap values for the DRY/WET parameters for the FX machines. Improved the encoder feel for the TRIG PROB parameter. Minor improvements to the screen UI and messages. General performance and stability improvements. Bug fixes: The FX LFO 2 depth parameter did not load correctly from presets. When in GRID RECORDING mode, copying a parameter page incorrectly exited GRID RECORDING mode. It was not possible to copy a parameter page when an FX track was visible in overlay mode. Adding micro timing on step 1 on the supertrack could, under some circumstances, delete trigs. [...]
