Electra Community Flash Synth MIDI CC chart, NRPN and OSC map

The Electra Community Flash Synth MIDI implementation: 22 CC, each named, for Claude (MCP), SuperCollider or any OSC app.

Device Electra Community Flash Synth
Vendor Electra Community
OSC prefix /flash_synth
Source πŸŽ›οΈ Derived from an Electra One community preset
Revision per Electra preset
Upstream electra-preset
Driver file devices/electra-community/flash_synth.json
Not tested on the device yet

This driver comes from documentation or community data and has not been checked on real hardware. If you own one, a quick test and a pull request promoting it helps everyone β€” see CONTRIBUTING.

How do you control it?

Find the MIDI ports, then start the bridge with this driver:

osc-bridge detect        # prints the ready-to-run line for what is plugged in
osc-bridge run --device devices/electra-community/flash_synth.json --out-port <N> --in-port <M>

Then send OSC to 127.0.0.1:7777, for example:

osc-bridge osc-send /flash_synth/lfo_depth 63

From Claude or any MCP client, the osc-bridge mcp server exposes this driver as flash_synth: ask β€œwhat can the Electra Community Flash Synth do?” and it reads this map with list_routes. See the MCP guide.

Performance MIDI

Notes, pitch bend and any CC are also available: /flash_synth/note/on <note> <velocity>, /flash_synth/cc/<number> <value>, /flash_synth/pitchbend <0-16383>, /flash_synth/program_change <n>.

Limitations

Imported from an Electra One community preset. The mapping reflects the preset author's editorial choices: parameter naming, ranges, and which params are exposed. Untested on hardware in this repo.

Frequently asked questions

How many parameters of the Electra Community Flash Synth can be controlled over MIDI?

SynthHub's map of the Electra Community Flash Synth lists 22 MIDI CC parameters, each with its number, range and a readable name; the full chart is on this page.

Can an AI agent like Claude control the Electra Community Flash Synth?

Yes: SynthHub's hosted MCP server knows the Electra Community Flash Synth's MIDI map, and its browser relay lets the agent send it parameter changes or load a sound, each sound change confirmed by you.
