Redefining the MIDI Controller

Control sound parameters using high-resolution, 360-degree touch-sensitive knobs or interact directly with the touchscreen. Electra One controllers let you control over 5,000 parameters across up to 32 MIDI devices, all accessible with just a few button presses.

But Electra One doesn't just send MIDI — it listens. It reads incoming MIDI data in real time, giving you clear insight into your sound's structure and unlocking endless possibilities for shaping it. All types of MIDI messages are supported, including System Exclusive.

Want to go further? Electra One supports Lua scripting, enabling custom functions triggered by user actions, incoming MIDI, MIDI clock, or timed intervals. Create transitions, sequence events, generate MIDI LFOs, whatever you can imagine. Take parameter snapshots, morph or randomize sounds, manage MIDI routing, all from within the hardware itself.

Tailored to musicians, limitless for developers

High quality knobs

Touchscreens are great but shaping sound with high-quality knobs is a completely different experience. Electra One doesn't rely on rotary encoders or standard potentiometers. Instead, it uses custom 360-degree pots that deliver exceptional feel and precision.

The knobs are also touch-sensitive. Even a light touch highlights the corresponding parameter on the display, so you always know what you're about to adjust. With Electra One, you stay in control and never make a wrong move.

Extend with External Controllers

If twelve knobs and six buttons aren't enough, Electra One integrates seamlessly with other MIDI gear and software. External MIDI messages — from controllers or computers — can control on-screen parameters, trigger actions, switch pages, recall snapshots, and much more.

Everything can be configured on the controller using MIDI Learn. Electra One gives you the flexibility to customize it the way you want it, whether you're combining control surfaces or integrating with a DAW.

The external control also makes it possible to record and replay full MIDI automation from your DAW, including SysEx messages. Whatever your workflow, Electra One fits right in. right in.

Choose Your Electra One

One platform, two forms. Presets move seamlessly between Electra One mkII and Electra One Mini. Pick Mini for the same brain in a compact, knob-first, more affordable body — or go full-blown with mkII touchscreen that can show 36+ MIDI parameters at once. Both make superb learning platforms for MIDI and great bases for building your own MIDI tools and applications.

Electra One mkII

Electra One is the original and much-loved model — the centre of your MIDI setup. It is at home with vintage MIDI hardware, modern synths, and software instruments. A great MIDI controller for sound design, developing new presets, and managing complex MIDI workflows. It also offers advanced integrations with popular DAWs such as Ableton Live, Bitwig Studio, and Reaper.

Electra One Mini

All the Electra platform features in a smaller, more affordable package with fewer physical controls. Create Mini-tailored presets or load any mkII preset and add Performance overlays to reach the same parameters from a compact layout. Perfect for hands-on control of menu-heavy synths, VST parameter mapping, and powerful MIDI and Lua scripting for automation.
