Welcome to the Erae world! Here's a quick guide to the key terms you'll encounter:

• The Lab: Erae's companion software, designed to configure your device in countless ways. In the Lab, you can manage your projects and layouts
• Element: The basic building blocks for creating layouts. Examples include keyboards, drum pads, and faders. A full list of elements can be found in the Elements section.
• Layout: An arrangement of elements on the playing surface. Layouts can be customized with "tune" and "style" settings in the Lab. You can also adjust "tune" settings directly on the device. Both "tune" and "style" parameters are layout-specific, meaning they are saved and edited within their individual layouts.
• Loop: A repeating sequence of MIDI and/or CV events, such as notes, chords, or rhythms. Loops can be recorded in real time, then saved and edited as "patterns."
• Project: A file that can contain up to 8 layouts. Erae's SD card can store up to 8 projects, allowing you to manage and organize your work efficiently.
