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

- Increase max patch file size to 1MB in [PR#399](https://github.com/4ms/metamodule/pull/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](https://forum.4ms.info/t/firmware-v1-3-1/492): > > Lots of new things!

Perhaps Dan reverted that for some reason. ---

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! ---

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! (edit: bad link removed) ---

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

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

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
