Fast answer

Capture the exact self-test result and test log, then contact Elektron support or the retailer. Do not assume an OS update or reset fixes a hardware-test result.

Do this first

  1. Record the original Digitakt model and installed OS version.
  2. Run the documented startup self-test and preserve the test log/result.
  3. Do not perform a destructive reset as a first response.
  4. Provide the captured result to Elektron support or the retailer.

Diagnose it

Does the self-test produce an error in its log?

Yes: Treat it as support evidence and contact Elektron or the retailer.

No: Investigate the specific non-hardware symptom using the documented settings.

Expected result

The test result is preserved for an informed support decision.

Why this works

The OS 1.51 manual documents the startup self-test/test log and directs errors to Elektron support or the retailer.

Still stuck?

Recheck the physical MIDI direction and the exact source device setting. If this behavior differs on your hardware, keep the model/revision and setup details for a correction report.
