[LAU] Hydrogen --> Linuxsampler+Salamander Drumkit

[alexander]

Good job on thatone! I didn't realize hydrogen could send midi, now if 
it can send CC messages too somehow(for the hihat), you'll be able to 
have all functionality of the kit! that would be pretty golden..

> For the .lscp file I only used Salamander's "All.sfz" file, and I

> I haven't investigated completely, but the 2 .h2 files are there 
> because 1) The .h2drumkit contains the 30 instruments in the kit, and 
> what I named them, and 2) I'm pretty sure the MIDI-out note for each
