While I don't know wether the limit is around 15.000 there certainly
is a limit to the size of a menu. If I recall it correctly the ID
of a menu entry (used by the windowing system to indicate which
particular entry had been selected) is a 16bit number thus allowing
for a theoretical maximum of 65000 distinguishable menu-entries.
It doesn't seem far fetched to assume that the range reserved for
EXS Instruments does not span the full theoretically possible range.
>Does anyone also have this problem or has someone a solution for me?
Do you *always* need all your 15.000 instruments or could you
preselect some by moving those you don't need (temporarily) into
a different directory ?
Or in other words:
Assuming there is a maximum number of instruments and this is
around 15.000 than I suppose you have no choice other than using
a subset of your instruments possibly selected on a case by case
basis.
Best,
Michael
