General UI Advice: How to handle lots of waveforms?

[modularsamples]

I'm working on an instrument that will have lots of user selectable sample maps, potentially 500+.

I could use a combobox, but with so many options this would have users scrolling off screen, and seems inelegant.

My other thought was to use a slider linked to a "screen" that displays the name of the sample map.. the downside to this being finding a specific waveform is tricky..

How would you guys approach this from a design point of view?

@modularsamples like this:

You will need a panel and some paint routines to draw your boxes and names - and a mouse callback to handle selection. Drop the panel into a ViewPort to get it sliding

@Lindon Thanks, this definitely looks the the best approach.
