- Worth noticing
- It retains stock machines, checks that three memory constraints fit, and says the preview is a screen reconstruction—not a live emulator.
Field notes
The workflow separates firmware, samples, models, categories, and download into five steps. Users can load model packs into a catalog, choose whether to add to or replace that catalog, and trim samples to manage memory. The page says stock machines are retained and warns that modified firmware can make the device unusable; it also states that the project is unofficial, unsupported, and unaffiliated with Elektron.
