Sumu preset selection
Is there a dropdown preset and partials maps menu selections in Sumu?
If yes, the drop down menus for presets and partials maps are not available to me. I have to control click (Mac) to see the menus.
When I click on the preset name it toggles/scrolls to the next preset. No drop down menu appears as it does in other instruments such as Aalto.
I cannot find any reference to how presets / waveforms are selected in the manual. Am I missing something obvious?
Organising user created partials maps
How do I organise the imported user partials maps in the menu? Can I create a user folder so they are discrete from the other maps?
The ones I have imported are located in the partials maps menus that happen to be selected when I import the map.

From the outset I have an issue with no sound coming from Sumu. I load an instance of the AU or VST onto a track, select a preset and ensure a partial is loaded. When Sumu is triggered with midi no sound comes out.
Scrolling through presets and triggering with midi sometimes generates sound, but there is no consistency to this. I have ensured when testing that this is not an issue with keyboard stealing.
This is proving to be frustrating. A document with an instance of Sumu that is generating sound is saved and closed. On reopening the document, Sumu no longer generates sound.

Hello Randy,
thanks for the response. To answer your questions:
Do the red lights in the input module flash when there's MIDI input?
YES
Does the sound cut off for the entire Live project, or just Sumu?
SUMU ONLY. ALL OTHER TRACKS HAVE AUDIO PLAYBACK
I am sending you an email and a video clip via wetransfer of the issue in Live.
Also, I think your response to the comment in this thread:
'Vienna Ensemble can't load the interface and the plugin has induced kernel panics in my machine.'
Is part of another unrelated thread?
When opening, clicking onto or making any changes to the Kaivo and Aalto instruments when working in a DAW the keyboard commands are stolen/focused away from the DAW and keyboard input stops working.
I note that the issue has been raised in this and other fora. Has this problem been resolved. This is a significant reason why I stopped using Kaivo and Aalto.

Hello Randy, your reply to my email did not make it through. Thank you for your response in the forum to both questions. Much appreciated!
Thank you Randy, I did note that this issue was resolved with Sumu. Looking forward to the update.
