Wavetable folder number limitation in Hive 2

[enCiphered]

I have purchased the Galbanum Architecture Waveforms 2010 and moved a copy to ...\Hive.data\Wavetables to use them with Hive 2.
This product has over 100 organized wavetable folders but Hive shows only 42 of them.
Anyone else has the same issue?

The maximum number of sub menus is 128 in macOS, hence we set that limit. Not sure about Windows, but Windows has a vertical limit which is a similar hinderance.

We will add a different method of browsing (folders separate from content) for huge libraries. Can't yet give a date though.

I'd strongly recommend to organize things in a manner that is practical though, I don't think thousands of single cycle waveforms distributed over dozens of folders is very useful. That is, if the number of available wavetables exceeds the number of presets ever done by tens or hundreds of times, I'm not sure anyone will ever benefit from such a collection. I recall though that there are also versions of Galbanum where multiple cycles are stitched into sweepable wavetables. That IMHO makes more sense and also reduces the number of files/folders considerably

Thanks Urs, I understand.
I´m on a windows machine and you are right about the vertical limitation, what a f...

This is how it looks like in Hive2:


Most (and most important) folders are not visible.

In Serum I can see all of them:

Yeah... you could probably see them in Hive too if the overall limit of menu items wasn't capped at 8192 in our stuff. Who would have ever thought that menus, sub menus and items within would exceed 8000 entries?

As I said, there's a ToDo for that, but current focus is on some other updates for a few more weeks/months.

No problem, I will wait. Thanks for taking the time to reply, as always much appreciated.

Just buy galbanum in WT format. It solved the problem for me

Yes, I made the mistake and bought the single waveforms..

Moreover can you see that multi-column menu there? Would be nice to have that in the preset dropdown menu in u-he products, when you right-click on parameter display!

While there is a vertical limit that makes long menus unusable in Windows, there's obviously this multi-column solution that would make it actually amazingly usable.

The wavetable pack is on sale right now for $20 but you might be able to get them for $5 because according to the copy on the product page, existing customers are entitled to a $15 discount on purchases
