Maximum module count

[Daitheharp]

Will the maximum module count of 32 be raised at some point?

• Increase max patch file size to 1MB in PR#399

with firmware 1.3.1 - dan raised the patchsize to 1mb ram. i tried loading a patch on mm that had 36 modules (i just duplicated the fundamental cvmix ones a bunch of times) and it seemed to load ok, where before it would give an error. have you tried it?

i haven’t tried this 36module test patch again with the 1.4.1 firmware

Firmware v1.3.1

Lots of new things! As compared to v1.2.1: New Features Text-based displays/screens in VCV-ported modules, and using them in NoisePlethora by @hemmer PR#381 Plugins can load custom font files PR#395 CPU Load and Memory tests for all modules PR#392 Option for Samplerate = 32kHz and Blocksize = 16 Increase max patch file size to 1MB in PR#399 Module changes Fix Tapographic Delay CV jacks (were inverted) Fix some modules’s default values for AltParams were not the same when adding a new module…

I can’t remember whether I tried 1.3.1 with more than 32 modules, but with 1.4.1, a message box pops on loading the patch, saying that the 32 max has been exceeded. Perhaps Dan reverted that for some reason.

[offthesky]

just did a quick test again, and yep with 1.4.1 we see the max 32 error. seriously hopefully we can have that max increased!

[danngreen]

Still at 32. Yeah, I can increase that!

Here is a beta version with the limit set to 64. Let me know if that’s working!

wow amazing- thank you very much dan! for now i think i need to hold off on testing, re: this potential issue

[danngreen]

Sorry about that! Here’s the fixed version

Hi Dan. The 1.4.3-beta-2 firmware still has 32 as the maximum patch size. Thanks.

[danngreen]

I guess it would help if I actually raised the limit!

Indeed it does! Thanks.

I think the biggest patch I’ve made so far had maybe a dozen modules and it broke my brain. Very impressed by the folks who are hitting the 32-module limit.

Same.
Outside of MM, I regularly have a patch 50 or more modules. Even if I have to trail through the spaghetti sometimes to remind me what was plugged in where, just seeing it all spread out around me is something I can keep in my head.

I’m liking the small-medium patches on MM- fairly quick to navigate and edit, but they add a lot to my system.

those of us who have lived in the vcv world for a while have been quite spoiled with the option to build our 50+module, monster patches. it’s been a nice fun challenge to try and rein it in for mm. definitely forcing me to become a better patch builder
