A browser-based builder for patching Elektron Syntakt firmware with Synfact and selectable mods.

Landing page captured for the 2026-11-05 issue.

For: Elektron Syntakt owners experimenting with firmware mods
Worth noticing: Mods live in a separate .smz4 bank, which the page says can be changed later without reinstalling the firmware.

Field notes

The builder takes an official Syntakt OS 1.41 file, checks it by hash, then patches and verifies it in the browser; the page says the file is never uploaded. The Synfact core is included in firmware, while selected mods live in a separate .smz4 bank that can be changed without reinstalling. Device transfer uses Web MIDI with SysEx and is limited to desktop Chrome or Edge on HTTPS; the project labels the firmware experimental and unofficial.
