General discussion

I want to build my own preset for the Roland SP404mkII

Because there isn’t any I want to try it myself, so I was checking out the page dedicated for beginners but it seems not to work?

i only see the chapters, but not the actual content itself, made an screenshot:

And what about the tutorials? There is none on the website and it has a banner that claims people are working on it? I have a gut feeling that this site isn’t being updated in maybe years?

Crash course content is visible, at least I see it via Win PC:

But there is enough other info you can use, without having to wait for those crash sources:

First, get acquainted with the controller itself:
Mk2: The Overview | Electra One Documentation
MINI: The Overview | Electra One Documentation

some interesting PDF downloads are in the Downloads section:Download Electra One Documentation | Electra One Documentation

As for Lua crash course: any lua course on the internet you can find will do well. That’s how most members using lua learned it. Me included.

Also ensure you know the ins and outs of what MIDI is. If you are familiar with MIDI CC, RPN, NRPN , clock messages, SysEx and why 7 bit is used instead of 8 bit. you’re good to go. If not, a lot of sources are out there to get familiar with it. Make sure you understand what Roland is mentioning about MIDI implementation or SysEx in their reference manuals of the SP404mkII.

Once you get the hang of all that, it’s time to learn the lua extensions that are specific to the E1 and these are of course mostly related to MIDI as well. You’ll find it here: Lua extension | Electra One Documentation

Last good starting point : make yourself acquainted how JSON messages are structured. That will come in handy for more advanced use.
