The functionality isn't there yet.  The plugin API does allow you to
set a dry sample for a zone without sampling the sample, meaning a
plugin could be written to import samples into `synthclone`, but I
haven't written such a plugin yet, partially because I'm not yet sure
how to best go about it, and partially because I don't have a lot of
time right now (looking for a new job).
