Jumping to the end of a large sample folder

you can jump to the end of a sample folder by entering it with “select”. Then tap anywhere on the grid to evoke the keyboard. The letter you typed appears, which itself is irrelevant. Then scroll left with “select.
You are now at the end of the folder.
Sometimes it’s not working the first time. Even doing it again is much faster then scrolling through an endless list.
I have not seen this feature mentioned anywhere.

@jensg Not sure I follow. Could you post a video showing this? It's something I'd love to know how to do!!
Sure.
@jensg Yes! Dude this is great! Thank you!!
wow this is a really great workaround. i felt that some folders, like resamples, should wrap around, but this is the next best thing.
Wrapping around in sample folders would be the best and most logical solution, I agree. I mean it’s working for synth folders already.
That workaround doesn't seem to work for the OLED deluge
@Alter sometimes i need to do it twice to work. Don’t know what’s causing this. Maybe try again?
In the OLED version, it seems to be the following way.
@alter oh wow, this is getting more intricate by the minute :-) maybe we stumbled upon some weird rabbit hole there.
Indeed
Many thanks for this, and its great to hear the workaround has not fully gone with the OLED. After all, in some contexts you would rather start browsing at the end (Resample folder).
There are a bunch of very simple to implement dev improvements:
Essentially, you don't want to be "winding up" the device too often as it limits your sample choices to the ones from the top and bottom of the list.
I have an update the method presented in the video works as long as the letter pressed is "higher" than R in this folder at least because all files start with R(ec).
Oh this explains why it’s working!
One more thing. this is also how you can get instantly to the folders whose names you know. Say, you select to open a synth but want a sound you keep in folder "drones". Just type drones and press enter is the surest way. If no synths named drones in the synths folder, first letters may do as well.
