Ok. I would definitely find value in an instrument
library available between projects and have been
wanting something like that. As it is currently, I've
got a separate project that just holds all my
instruments I've developed so far, and I copy in and
out of that project regularly, any time I come up with
something new that I like. Problem is, this is
cumbersome. So, if the system instrument library was
easy to use (importing and exporting), you'd have a
winner.

Ah, I see; user-definable presets. Good idea. As far
as folders for the presets, I think categorization is
a good idea, and I like the idea of submenus for
different groups of presets.
