I’ve raised the idea of automatically loading a particular snapshot, or remembering previous states when powering down/up (as was the case with a previous FW iteration), but it’s never got any response (which perhaps tel… --- ## [Commands sent on page selection](https://forum.electra.one/t/commands-sent-on-page-selection/4312)

I’d really like it if there was a way to specify some midi commands to be sent on page selection and on preset selection. --- ## [Offline editor?](https://forum.electra.one/t/offline-editor/2314)

Hello, I don’t want to be pessimistic or whatever, but I am wondering what would happen if someday the company fails. Since the app is online, there would be no way to keep using the E1 as we do today. Maybe it already… --- ## [External Development Environment/IDE Compatability](https://forum.electra.one/t/external-development-environment-ide-compatability/4298)

The LUA editor is good, but I’d really prefer my IDE for editing, saving changes to git, etc. I think there’s a workflow where you push files directly to E1, but I suspect that has some drawbacks. Is there a way to hav… --- ## [Allow yaml in addition to JSON](https://forum.electra.one/t/allow-yaml-in-addition-to-json/4299)
**Author:** [@Quelectra](https://forum.electra.one/u/Quelectra)\ **Replies:** 0\ **Last updated:** [March 5, 2026, 10:19pm UTC](https://forum.electra.one/t/allow-yaml-in-addition-to-json/4299 "2026-03-05T22:19:37Z")
Yaml results in smaller, more human readable/writable documents than JSON. Would prefer yaml as an alternate format … even if it’s only in the editor (and converted to true json before sending to the E1 and/our cloud). … --- ## [Declarative properties on Controls](https://forum.electra.one/t/declarative-properties-on-controls/4295)
**Author:** [@Quelectra](https://forum.electra.one/u/Quelectra)\ **Replies:** 2\ **Last updated:** [March 4, 2026, 8:20am UTC](https://forum.electra.one/t/declarative-properties-on-controls/4295 "2026-03-04T08:20:46Z")
It would be be useful to be able assign arbitrary properties to Controls in the editor. These properties could then be used in formatters and other callback to customize the behavior. This avoids the need to have a se… --- ## [Extend min/max data driven formatter to handle floating point values](https://forum.electra.one/t/extend-min-max-data-driven-formatter-to-handle-floating-point-values/4294)

If a min/max field is a floating point number (versus an integer), display as a floating point numbers from min to max. Bonus points for using the precision of the min/max values (i.e., the number of digits after the de… --- ## [More presets and drag'n'drop preset re-order](https://forum.electra.one/t/more-presets-and-dragndrop-preset-re-order/4283)

Hi, would it be possible to implement more than the 72 presets for the Electra One MkII? I saved 60 presets and have a Ram usage of 5%. And I would like to be able to re-order my presets by drag’n’drop in the web editor… --- ## [Warning when pressing back button on Editor](https://forum.electra.one/t/warning-when-pressing-back-button-on-editor/37)

Please make a warning when pressing back button on the editor. Are you sure you want to exit the editor? Just erased a bunch of edits I was doing by accidentally pressing back button on the mouse. :frowning: --- ## [Changing the labels on individual faders in a V Fader 4](https://forum.electra.one/t/changing-the-labels-on-individual-faders-in-a-v-fader-4/4179)

Is there a way to change the names/labels (Fader 1, Fader 2, Fader 3, Fader 4) on the dials within a V Fader 4? I’m starting to use these controls for varied uses. It would be very useful to display the name of the para… --- ## [BPM Drifter](https://forum.electra.one/t/bpm-drifter/4249)

One idea, three hours of time, and AI Claude for the coding. My first preset for the E1 Mini is ready. Determine BPM Speed (BPM x1, x2, x3, or x4) Range (set value +/- 5, 10, 15, or 20) The linked values of U-He Diva … --- ## [Knob to knob groups](https://forum.electra.one/t/knob-to-knob-groups/4231)

I really like the ergonomics of Envelopes, XYs, and 4 fader on the One Mini. I wish there was one more type of group: N associated parameters. This is especially important on the mini because the 8 pages fill up fast for… --- ## [Expansion of controllable MIDI parameters by "push & turn"](https://forum.electra.one/t/expansion-of-controllable-midi-parameters-by-push-turn/4211)

Since we have the possibility of changing the Midi Channels and Ports on the E1 itself, most of my presets don’t deal well with that option, because the devChannel and devPort are read in a variable and used on my places… --- ## [Author of preset being preserved after copying the preset into "my presets"](https://forum.electra.one/t/author-of-preset-being-preserved-after-copying-the-preset-into-my-presets/4189)

I think I might have mentioned this before: I love the sharing aspect of this community! And I think it would be great if the original author of the presets could be preserved after copying it into our presets.

The encoder assigned to the V Fader 4 by default changes the value of the first fader. This fader target can be changed by the choosing the control context and pressing the Next button. This takes several button pres… --- ## [Allow V Fader 4 Control Detail view to use either row ow encoders](https://forum.electra.one/t/allow-v-fader-4-control-detail-view-to-use-either-row-ow-encoders/4180)

It would be very efficient to use either row of encoders after entering the Control Detail view of the V Fader 4. Using any of the top row of encoders in the detail view could behave the same as if the lower row of en… --- ## [Consistent Parameter Value Readability](https://forum.electra.one/t/consistent-parameter-value-readability/4162)

At around 75-95% of a parameter value range there is a dark font on a dark background. I find this low-contrast value hard to read without glasses, which generally I don’t need to wear. Could there be a UI option to pro… --- ## [Row Button Long-Press To Lock](https://forum.electra.one/t/row-button-long-press-to-lock/4164)

If a preset uses controls on one row, and buttons on another row to select sets of controls for the first row, it would be great to ‘lock’ the first row as being selected. That way, the second row buttons can be pressed … --- ## [Stand-alone MIDI monitor](https://forum.electra.one/t/stand-alone-midi-monitor/4125)

It would be a very helpful tool if the Electra one could be used as a stand-alone MIDI monitor tool to see traffic from the MIDI inputs and USB host. To make it useful, there should be a filter function for message types… --- ## [Four Stage Envelope - Inverted values / Labels](https://forum.electra.one/t/four-stage-envelope-inverted-values-labels/4101)

Hi. I want a controller to send midi to a Midi to CV convertor for use with my Eurorack. I have 3 modules each with 8 CV inputs and my Midi to CV convertor has 24 CV outs.

I tried the Faderfox EC4 and I hated it. I used the Electra One for a few minutes on the Superbooth and I instantly loved it (after eyeballing it for years). But there’s one thing where the EC4 scores: the size.

I’m opening question, if it would be better to have relative mode instead of absolute (it is part of firmware now) of fader in detailed view (the big fader after long press/touch)? Because when I want to use detail view,… --- ## [Checkbox options](https://forum.electra.one/t/checkbox-options/4056)

Hi Martin, et al. Is there a way to code the new checkbox control to show the text “OFF” as well as “ON” when the CC state changes? Also, maybe another option so it displays neither “ON” nor “OFF”?

Hi Martin, I haven’t found any discussion about that, but I read that you intentionally killed the option to dim inactive Control Sets.
