The firmware 2.1.2 is available for the download. (version 2.1.1 has not been made public on purpose)

The firmware is available on the [Downloads page](https://docs.electra.one/downloads/firmware.html).

This release brings number of minor changes and bug fixes. See changelog for the details.

**Changelog** :

- Add a SysEx call to obtain information about currently running Electra One application and preset [Midi Implementation - Get an application information](https://docs.electra.one/developers/midiimplementation.html#get-an-application-information). The call is used in the Bitwig extension maintained by @joris.roling.
- Fix: Issue of fader value not being shown properly for asymetric value rangers [Asymmetric range causes screen garbage](https://forum.electra.one/t/asymmetric-range-causes-screen-garbage/1000).
- Fix: Display overlay labels corretly for values above 255 [Fader overlay doesn’t work past 255](https://forum.electra.one/t/fader-overlay-doesnt-work-past-255/1005).
- Fix: Repaint List detail correctly. The background was transparent and therefore leaving artifacts on the screen.

Hi. Thanks for the latest version.  
I hope you are still working on the brightness control for HW 2.1, because the high frequency noise of my unit is really annoying! Thx.

Thanks for this release @martin,  
I have implemented the Preset Request feature in my Bitwig Control script. It does it after firmware version check, so it gracefully steps back to the old & crude method (Patch Request).

v1.13 [Bitwig Control for Electra One](https://github.com/jorisroling/bitwig-electra-one/releases/tag/v1.13)

Enjoy! ❤

some weirdness here. As you know, I’ve been playing around with LUA files and loading them into the E1 either via the ‘Edit LUA script’ button in a preset or using the sandbox.

Well, I noticed today that in the log file, I keep seeing messages like this:

```auto
208287 sendSysexFile: the file does not exists: filename=ctrlv2/p007.epr

```

and the USB MIDI port is constantly flashing. I tried a firmware reset (holding down middle left button until boot screen is done) and there are no presets showing on the E1.  
That file name (ctrlv2/p007.epr) looks like it was generated when I loaded a LUA file using the sandbox. Any idea how to clear this condition?

EDIT - it only seems to happen when the ELectraOne app is connected showing logging. It doesn’t happen with a regular preset loaded.

The ElectraOne app runs a regular check of the current preset. It is done by sending a SysEx call to the Electra controller. As you removed the all presets there the request cannot be satisfied.

> `filename=ctrlv2/p007.epr`

This preset file is requested as that preset slot is currently set as active.

If you switch to preset slot 1 and load a preset there, the warning message will disappear. Or, you can, of course, load a preset to the current slot.

Got it. Since it’s all new for me, I try to understand what is normal/expected and what is a result of my user errors. lol

All perfectly ok, just keep asking. It’s all good points, I will reflect it in my work on the firmware.
