Hi. I’m trying to record a midi sequence from my external keyboard and got this message. I can’t find anywhere how to solve it. What does it mean ? Thanks you.

I got this too, recording a long modulation sequence. I think it just means you hit the memory limit on the Hermod for that pattern. I’m not sure if this is a pattern level limit track level limit, sequence level limit, or project level limit. Try splitting it up into smaller chunks and “zooming out” to the next level if you’re still getting the error.
ok I ran into this again working on a song project tonight. It looks like the automation memory limit is at the project level? I tried switching to a different sequence, different track, still get the error.
What helped was to go into my long modulation pattern and manually tap a bunch of steps to remove them. So the recorded modulation is much lower resolution. I then added a Glide effect on the track to smooth it out.
This is tedious to do by hand though.
It would really help if there were an option on the track-- when recording modulation in from external CV-- to only create a new mod event e.g. every 1/4 note, or every x number of milliseconds.
I don’t mind the memory/resolution limit (the glide effect makes up for it) as much as I really want to be able to record and overdub a modulation track without having to go in and manually edit the steps each time.
I especially purchased for modulation and it fills pretty quick… a resolution setting per channel could be pretty nice.

Same here, I was just recording two patterns… ONLY TWO PATTERNS and it just filled up my modulation momeory in ONE TRACK. so I cant use any other track for modulation… WHAT???
What I figured out, we have only 512 steps of recording. And if you recorde a track and decide to shorten the length, it will not free up the memory. You need to clear the track. I contacted Squarp about it and they say they will work on it.

I had the same issue recently with not a very complicated project. One issue may have been that I kept iterating on a project, continuing to Save As and after a while I think a lot of gunk built up. However, here’s more insight from Squarp:
“It looks like you have data hidden inside your sequences. Yes, “New project” clears all data. When you record notes from an external keyboard, if your keyboard sends aftertouch or some CC they are recorded inside Hermod+ and it’s easy to miss. What you can do is to enter what we call the analyzer mode. Go to STEP mode and Hold STEP button. Tracks buttons will light up with different colors. If you press one of them, you can select any type of data potentially recorded in your Pattern (Note/Pitchbend/Aftertouch/Modulation/Sustain). It’s explained here: Hermod+ Manual | Squarp instruments.
Another way to detect this kind of issue is to click the encoder once in STEP mode. In the list if you see for example “DELETE AFTERTOUCH” it means you have aftertouch recorded and it’s a good way to clean your pattern without deleting your notes.”
