Hi all,
Mods for Elektron boxes are spread across dozens of repos, threads and Discords, and so is the knowledge behind them. Aggregat brings both together in one place:
https://70b185.github.io/Aggregat/ (website)
https://github.com/70b185/Aggregat (repo)
It’s meant for two kinds of people: those looking for a mod who want an overview of what exists for their device, and those who want to develop mods and need to know how the hardware works, what others have already built and what has gone wrong before.
It currently covers 263 projects: the Digitakt and Digitone families, Syntakt and Analog Heat in depth; Octatrack, Rytm, A4, Model:Cycles/Samples, Machinedrum and Monomachine as a catalogue. It holds only metadata and short notes in my own words: no firmware, no binaries, no copied code. Every entry links to the original project and says where the information came from.

If you’re looking for mods
- Mods by device. Pick your device and see every mod and custom firmware for it, how far its author says it was tested (on a unit, emulator only, not yet), and which loader it installs through. Each project has its own page you can link to.
https://70b185.github.io/Aggregat/?t=mods
- What’s new. Every catalogued project is checked daily, so you can see new releases and updates in one list (also as an RSS feed).
https://70b185.github.io/Aggregat/?t=news
- Musician tools. Editors, sample and project managers: everything that doesn’t touch the firmware.
https://github.com/70b185/Aggregat/blob/...N-TOOLS.md
- Knowledge base. About 1,100 hardware facts per device (memory and addresses, file formats, flash procedure, recovery), each with an evidence tag (seen on hardware / emulator only / documented / unclear) and a source. It also tracks which memory ranges existing mods use, so new ones can avoid clashes.
https://github.com/70b185/Aggregat/blob/.../README.md
- What went wrong before. 72 incidents on real units with their causes, and 19 known bugs in Elektron’s own OS, so you can check before you blame your mod (or someone else’s).
https://github.com/70b185/Aggregat/blob/...CIDENTS.md
https://github.com/70b185/Aggregat/blob/...CK-BUGS.md
- What others already built. Features that exist elsewhere and shared building blocks to start from, plus developer tools (toolchains, emulators, unpackers).
https://github.com/70b185/Aggregat/blob/...OVERLAP.md
https://github.com/70b185/Aggregat/blob/...V-TOOLS.md
- Release checklist distilled from those incidents, with a short safety/status block you can paste into your README.
https://github.com/70b185/Aggregat/blob/...ECKLIST.md
- For coding agents: one context file per device and a small MCP server (no install) that answers questions like “what do I need to know before flashing a DN2 on OS 1.12?”.
https://github.com/70b185/Aggregat/blob/.../AGENTS.md
How you can help
- Corrections first. If something about your project is wrong, missing or out of date (OS versions, test status, the memory your mod uses), reply here, or open an issue or pull request on GitHub.
- Run a five-minute test on your stock unit, no flashing needed (read your unit’s IDs, check whether unsaved edits survive a power cycle, film a cold start…). Each result answers a question mod developers are currently guessing about. Failures are as useful as successes.
