EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

I use EXSManager Pro by Redmatica.  I've run into a problem if I try to keep more than 
(approximately) 30,000 to 32,000 instruments in my EXS instruments folder. I realize 
that is an insane number but when I try this, nothing will load in the EXS. I cut it back 
to about 27,000+ and things load and work fine now. Is anyone aware of a maximum 
number of instruments for EXS? And out of curiosity, how many instruments do you 
keep in your instrument folder?

There could be a limit of the operating system. These numbers sound 
somehow familiary to me... Max files and/or max nested folders in a 
hierarchical menu. Maybe EXS would not care but the popup is beyond its 
capacity.

I'm a little late here (having been on vacation the last two weeks), 
but there's a limit to the number of files Logic can have open. The 
solution is to use EXSManager's SampleMerge routine to make one file 
out of lots of them.
