To address all these points we had to make another radical change to the firmware and the console app. The new firmware files use different file format and can be flashed only with the new console app. I have been testing everything but I would like to ask the community to help. I would like to mention, however, that it is a pre-production testing - issues may occur. Please do not upgrade if you are not willing to accept this.
The application is written in JUCE framework and it as been compiled for Windows, MacOSX, and Linux. IOS and Android version will come at later stage. The app gives you access to firmware updates and log files. There are also new features. The app can now monitor MIDI messages sent out by Electra (no need to use Midi Monitor / MidiOX). The information about available memory, serial number and hardware revision are shown.

iConnectivity mioXM did not appear to work - powers up ok (with powered hub)
but didnt seem to route any messages. (I checked output, I guess I can look at input too?)
I need to double check routing on mioXM, tommorow - but Im pretty sure, I had it set correctly.
(Im assuming port 1 = port 1?!)
looks like they were corrupted since I can see this in the electra one log for one of the presets ive not re-uploaded yet.
Electra One app working fine on my Mac Mini M1.
updated to firmware 1.5.1, all good
I tested it with mioXL and worked perfectly. Does Electra show up on the list of USB Host Reservation in Auracle? For devices connected to USB host ports (on mio), the ports must be assigned in the USB Host Reservation first and then configure in the routing.
Ok, it took a while but there is a progress. I would like to ask @Enthalpi, @thetechnobear, @RobinC if they could test enclosed firmware with their iConnectivity gear. The mysterious issue has been resolved and I can successfully use Electra connected to the USB host port of both XL and XM (could not verify Mio10).
Last but not least. I tried to reflect the feedback on snapshots and extended the functionality. This new firmware supports up to 432 snapshots per preset and the ElectraOne console app make it possible to manage them.
I spent majority of my time last month on learning the GUI programming. The idea is that this ElectraOne console (firmware updater) app will slowly progress to a native app that will allow full control of the controller.
Note, the snapshots are still bound to a preset location. ie. if you saved a few snapshots under preset 1 and then you will upload diiferent preset there, the original snapshots will remain there. This still needs thinking and doing.
Preset is a very early version. It just gives basic info about the controls of th preset and makes it possible to load a preset. Loading of the preset is a bit tricky. If you encouter problems, pleas let me know.
Remark on Linux
The default size of MIDI buffer is 4096 (on Ubuntu). When larger presets are transferred, the kernel reports the buffer overflow. This can be adjusted by changing the buffer size parameter of the sequencer kernel module. I tried to do that in run time - that did not work. Reloading the module with the adjusted parameter works.
yes, unfortunately this is a hardware thing. Hardware revisions prior to 2.3 demand more than Mio can supply. Even with 2.3 only certain host ports are capable delivering enough power (400mA+ is required). I am in touch with iConnectivity, I will try to get more info on this.
yes, I must admit - more as a user than a developer - that having electra connected to the mioXL gave me real control over all my gear from one place and in both directions. I think iConnectivity gear is simply great.
Snapshots
Saved values of preset controls. Snapshots will allow users to Save, Recall, Export, and Import values of all controls of a Preset. Snapshots will be implemented as transfers of all individual control values. ie. it does not use any type of Patch transfer SysEx messaging. Snapshots allow keep Electra in sync with the connected device even if the device does not support bi-directional communication. Snapshots may also provide more Patch/Sound storage for synths with limited memory resources.
New Electra One Console Application
Current ElectraOne console application will be replaced with a new version that will bring more functionality regarding the Preset, Snapshot, Config, Routing. This can be considered to be a native app to manage Electra hardware. Mac OS X, Windows, Linux, IOS are planned to be supported. Possibily Android.
More variables in MIDI messaging
Currently, Value and Checksum variables can be inserted to the SysEx messages. The idea is to extend number of variables. Parameter numbers, MIDI channel, Master MIDI channel, device ID, custom variables will be supported. Also, we want to allow this for other MIDI messages. ie. it would not be limited to SysEx only.
Editor for SysEx messages
Provide a graphical / user friendly editor for SysEx messages. This would cover both outgoing SysEx messages as well as the incoming SysEx patch dumps and its mapping to the parameters.
Send multiple messages with one Control
Currently, Electra can send only one MIDI message per control. This feature would allow assigning more messages to a single control value. The messages could be sent immediately (as fast as possible) or at given timeframes. An option to send message if certain condition is met would be a nice addition.
Increase / Decrease Controls
Slightly related to Relative controls but these controls would work with absolute numbers too. Imagine these as increment and decrement buttons that modify one parameter value.
Customize user interface means
Currently, function of the hardware buttons and the touch interface is defined by the firmware. We would like to make it possible to override this on the Config level (whole Electra, ie. all presets) as well as on the Preset level (ie. a preset may change behaviour of the hardware means). This would include the long-touches, double-taps, button presses, etc. Possibly, assigment of the knobs to particular section, leaving the rest purely touch-only.
Control of MIDI messaging rates
Many old synths get into troubles when MIDI messages are sent to them too fast. We want to make it possible to specify the maximum rate of the MIDI messages on per device basis.
Improve External MIDI control
I implemented my idea of controlling Electra with MIDI messages. Page, Preset switching, etc. It seems, however, that it is not very useful in many situations. I used the dedicated CTRL port. This does makes it impossible to use a controller that would partly control Electra but it would also send message to gear / computer connected to Electra. This needs to be changed / improved.
Automation and generation of MIDI data
Electra is capable of generating MIDI data by itself. This data could be used to modulate values of controls or it could be sent out directly to the connected devices.
It is a lot to do indeed and it will not get done over the night. I wanted the share the complete list. If I ever get to the end of it I will be a very happy camper What I see as the most important thing now is to do the right bits of the work first.
Electra One Console is an application to update Electra One MIDI Controller firmware and to display Electra's internal debugging messages. For more detailed information visit ElectraOneConsole documentation
Decentralized applications (dApps) are a piece of so ware that communicates with their corresponding blockchain, which manages the state of all network actors. The interface of the decentralized applications does not look any different than any website or mobile app today. The smart contract represents the core logic of a decentralized application. Smart contracts are integral building blocks of blockchains, that process information from external sensors or events and help the blockchain manage the state of all network actors. Electra Protocol plans to release smart contracts during 2022. After that developers will be able to create smart contracts, their own public tokens, and decentralized applications using Electra Protocol. Stunning times ahead for Decentralized Finance and other possible use cases.
The frontend of a decentralized application represents what you see, and the backend represents the entire business logic. This business logic is represented by one or several smart contracts interacting with the underlying blockchain. The frontend, as well as files like a photo, a video, or audio, could be hosted on decentralized storage networks such as Swarm or IPFS. Traditional Web applications use HTML, CSS, and javascript or the like to render a webpage. This page interacts with a centralized database, where all the data is stored. When you use a service like Twitter, Amazon, or Airbnb, for example, the webpage will call an API to process your personal data and other necessary information stored on their servers, to display them on the page. User ID and passwords are used for identification and authentication, with low levels of security, since personalized data is stored on the server of the service provider.
