Hi !  
I’m having an issue with the web interface. I’ve been making changes to a preset this morning and uploading them to the E1. Everything seems to work fine, and this afternoon I came back to the web interface to make some further adjustments, but most of my previous modifications had vanished from the online preset ! My preset online and on the E1 don’t match anymore… And I need to rebuild all the changes I made. I’m reporting this bug because it’s actually the second time it happens to me. The first time I didn’t lose too much work, so I kept on going. But it seems to be a recurring bug, so it might need looking into.

Has anybody had a similar issue ?  
Can I download the preset from the E1 (using console ?) to send it back online so I don’t need to go through all the lost changes ?

Thanks  
Jesse

Hi @Jesse,

I am sorry for that. The fix is on the way. It is being currently tested and will be included in the upcoming web app release.

Cheers,

Martin

Hi Martin !  
Thx for the quick reply.  
Any chance I can salvage the “good” version stored inside the E1 ? 😁

sending a `0xF0 0x00 0x21 0x45 0x02 0x01 0xF7` SysEx message to Electra’s USB CTRL port will force Electra to dump the current preset. More info on that can be found at [Get current preset](https://docs.electra.one/developers/midiimplementation.html#get-a-preset). If you overwrote the preset in the controller, your work is lost, unfortunately ☹

Thx Martin !  
Looks like it might take me more time to understand how to send the sysex message and retrive the preset than to simply rebuild the changes ! 😁  
I often get to that conclusion when doing computer stuff, should I manually do it, or should I program something to do it for me…  
And thanks for fixing the bug !

The fix is out. I hope these mysterious losses of work will not happen any more.

As of firmware 2.2 Electra presets are saved automatically whenever:

1. preset is sent to the controller
2. editor window is left
3. user hits the save button

using the Save button makes it possible to attach a comment to a saved version. All saved versions can be seen and managed on a dedicated page:
