Hello,

I’m wondering if there is a way to use the online editor without an Electra One connected.

I don’t have one at the moment and obtaining one is difficult. I would have liked to get a “hands-on” feel with the device though the editor.

Hi, the editor is fully-functional without the controller. You just cannot upload the presets 🙂

Is this a recent change or maybe limited to some browsers?

Edit: seems to work. Thanks for the quick reply!
