Maximum number of grid elements too restrictive

Trying to make a Tonnetz-style isomorphic keyboard and finding the 'maximum number of grid elements' of 42 too restrictive. 


Ideally this should be increased (at least for midi notes) in software update? 


Also it should be possible to turn off the annoying  warning popup when limit is reached.

I have not received mine yet but was trying to set up some designs in Lab and found that the 42 was too restrictive..


I have a 1010Music Eurorack version of the Bluebox and was trying to set up a controller for it, but I bumped in the 42 limit. 


I have a large DAWless eurorack system and was hoping this would be the controller...

It was suggested that this would be lifted on Erae 2, so hoping that happens.

Well, I received my unit, and it only allows 48 elements on a layout, up from 42.. For me to do what I want with the 1010Music Eurorack version of the Bluebox, I need to use multiple layout pages..


The number of elements allowed is way too limiting.

It was suggested a year ago that the limit would be lifted when discussing custom components - I recall that a workaround would be to build your own with individual pixels (eg arrows, letters) and the limit lifted that would allow this Hopefully someone from Embodme can comment by reply.

I can finally create a LinStrument inspired Keygrid of full size with 252 pads on an Erae II. But when trying to add more layouts, I got an error message claiming I exceed this number. Then I realized by deleting elements on the other layouts, I could add elements again. I guess each Keygrid eats up 12 for each key in a scale. I wondered why this limit is on 252, but that is exactly the max size of 2*2 grids on a single layout.

This limit appeared at the 4th layout I wanted to make. Thus I suspect if its doubled to 512, it should be sufficient for all 8 layouts. But maybe there is no real need for a limit and its just a bug…

Hi Stefan

To Create a LINNSTRUMENT you should only need a single KeyGrid per layout and should not max out if you want to use the 8 Layouts with this setting
