greetings to everyone
is it possible to add a json file on electra one?

Hi, what type of JSON file do you mean? The Electra One presets are JSON files and as starting 4.0 it is possible to add an additional JSON file (one per preset) that can be accessed from preset’s Lua.

dear Martin i made a json file outside from Electra one for korg wavestation sr but i dont know if its possible to import the file
i made it as txt file too, copy and paste but doesnt work. it dissapears when i m pasting it

there are several ways to do that:

  1. create a sysex message with JSON data in it. Upload JSON
  2. copy the file onto the controller using the USB storage mode. File system structure
  3. import the externally created file to the web editor and upload it

The 3rd option is probably the easiest way to do that. You can find the option to upload the file on in the web editor, section My presets:

I’m also trying to import an externally created JSON file, using option #3. The Import Project button prompts for a file but uploading a file seems to have no effect (possibly because it expects a .eproj or .epr file and not a .json file?). The Upload button in the JSON panel within the preset editor does nothing at all; no file prompt appears when I click it. UPDATE: my bad, I read the docs and learned that the JSON panel is read-only. This leads me to wonder why it has an Upload button, though.

I figured it out. First the file does need to have the .epr extension. Second, my JSON code wasn’t complete. My mistake(s).

Hi, so you could upload after all?

I was able to upload with the Import Project button. The Upload button does nothing AFAICT although I now realize that maybe it’s there to upload the template to the hardware, not to upload a file to the editor. I was doing this work without the hardware so I didn’t think of that at the time. :blush:
