[LAD] DrMr: a new lv2 sampler/drum machine plugin

[Nick Lanham]

Firstly, yes, at some point I would like to have kit editing/creation 
available from the GUI.  This is non-trivial however, and a bit down the 
road.

To your second point, I agree that it's non-optimal to have to fire up 
hydrogen to make minor changes to kits and the like.  However, I still 
think DrMr improves the situation, as it sits nicely in your host, saves 
all your parameters, and doesn't require any external routing.  Of 
course if you're fine with setting up all the external routing and kit 
loading etc, you should just avoid DrMr all together, hydrogen is more 
fully featured and almost certainly more stable anyway, but the whole 
point of me writing DrMr was that I got sick of having to set up both my 
host and hydrogen for every track i wanted to open.

But yes, kit customization is in the pipeline, although behind getting 
the core solid and stable.
