Whatever browser I use, since 2 days there is no more output in the LUA editor log window!
I´ve tried all log levels with the same result, very strange.
I´m using Windows 10 latest version.
Any suggestions from the experts???

Hello Dieter, The log messages are sent to the computer as standard Sysex messages. You might want yo check with the Midi OX (or other MIDI monitoring tool) if your computer receives those messages from the Electra’s MIDIOUT3 port.
Hi Martin,
I have installed MIDI-OX. It shows SYSEX from Out3 and to In3. Existing E1 presets work as they should work. So far, so good.
But there is still no output in the LUA log tab when I send modified LUA code to E1 ! (I use Google Chrome as recommended). At the moment the web editor is more or less useless for me, because there is no control of the LUA code. It´s frustrating.

I have had the same problem on Windows 10 with Brave browser (Chrome), and have now found what is possibly the cause. The Electra MIDI 3 in/out does not appear to be multi-client. If I have Bitwig open, which is using the Electra Bitwig preset by Moss, the Lua Editor log has no data appear. If I close Bitwig, and any other app that may be trying to use Electra MIDI 3 in/out, like MIDI-OX, the Lua Editor log will display data. This may not be an issue on Mac OS as I believe all the MIDI ports are multi-client by default.
The Electra One is a class compliant device and therefore uses Microsofts drivers, which are not multi client capable. This is about to change with windows 11 in q2 2026

It´s really strange. Let me describe.
I open a preset (for example my preset “Random”). When I go to the LUA editor and press the “send to electra” play button, the button disappears. It is no more visible even when I change the LUA code. Also no output in the log tab is generated, even when I include a simple print command in the LUA code.
What happens there??? I have either other MIDI devices plugged in nor software that uses MIDI (only CHROME browser).

Windows 11: same behaviour.
Does this happen for all presets or just some? And when you click that “Send to electra” button, is the preset uploaded to the controller?
I am asking to make sure I understand the situation. The fact that the “Send to electra” button disappears and does not show up (I assume you are seeing the animated spinner there) means that the editor is waiting for a confirmation from the controller that the preset was received. And that confirmation is not received. The confirmation is a SysEx message sent by Electra to the editor. In essence it is exactly the same as sending the log message (also a SysEx message sent by Electra to the computer).
Can you check what ports you have set up in the Controller settings in the web app:
Hi Martin,
ports are set correct. I made a screenshot of MIDI-OX.
It´s the situation as described for my public preset “Random“ when “send to electra” is pressed in the LUA editor. There is no output in the log tab again, but the preset is uploaded to E1.

Problem solved. After reinstalling Chrome Browser everything works as usual. Don’t ask me why…….
