Hi, many of us have experienced the Divisions knob loosing functionality when updating the OS on older Koma Komplex Sequencers.
I got these instructions from Christian at Koma with the permission to share them on this forum.
Boot into the Testsoftware
• To boot into the Testsoftware hold the following buttons while powering the machine:
• STEP - GLIDE - SSP - GATE
• This will bring you to the "Color Setting Menu" (check the manual if you're interested in changing your colors)
But there is a hidden division calibration too! To enter the correct menu for calibrating your divisions press and hold MODE, then press the first step button (step 1) on all four sequencers. This will bring up the "light show" that we use for testing LEDs. Now press and hold MODE and press step 6 on all four sequencers. Now you're in the Division calibration mode for each sequencer. To set them do the following:
1. Turn the `Divisions` knob to counter-clockwise, until it can't move anymore (to the :32 division).
2. Press the left most `Step` button (Step 1). The LED of the slider above should light up / move to that position.
3. Turn the `Divisions` knob one position further clock-wise. Press the `Step` button to right of the last one that you clicked (now Step 2). The LED of the slider above should light up. (This saves the position of the knob.)
4. Repeat steps 3 until all the knob doesn't move anymore. (You are doing it right, if the LEDs light up from left to right.)
5. Press the `One-Shot Mode` button of the sequencer you just calibrated to save the configuration to the EEPROM, so it is saved after the unit has been turned off. Now all the LEDs in the row should light up. Wait until only one LED lights up again.
6. Move the `Divisions` knob. The LEDs should now move with the position of that knob. Check if every position of the knob has one LED light up. If not, repeat steps 1 to 5.
You need to repeat this for every sequencer (sorry). And then your divisions should work again. Sorry for the hassle. But really it doesn't take very long and will make your Divisions more stable than ever before.

that's it - hopefully this thread can help you if you get stuck like me :)
