I reloaded the edit page and the Lua script was rolled back a couple of hours although I was constantly uploading test versions. ☹ Basically I lost a whole night of work. Is there a way to extract the Lua script from electra one? I tried sending the sysex mentioned somewhere but that didnt work.

thanks for any help!

Hi,

sending a sysex message according to this will force E1 to send the Lua script back:

[https://docs.electra.one/developers/midiimplementation.html#get-a-lua-script](https://docs.electra.one/developers/midiimplementation.html#get-a-lua-script)

It can be done with a SysEx Librarian, MidiOx, sendmidi or similar tool:

```auto
sendmidi dev "Electra Controller Electra CTRL" syx 00h 21h 45h 02h 0Ch

```

For SysEx Librarian / MidiOx use file:  
[getLua.syx](https://forum.electra.one/uploads/short-url/4kujSQp0MixTp42EizlEmsqn5oI.syx) (7 Bytes) and send it to Electra Controller Electra CTRL port.
