Good idea. In addition to this... what if we *also* allowed a GM-Instrument setting for each instrument.[1] So, for each instrument there would be a field where you would select "High Bongo" or "Hand Clap." Hydrogen would use the MIDI note number assigned (as you outlined above)... however, we would also allow for a "GM Mode" that would automatically map the GM note numbers to the proper instrument(s). Note that, in GM mode, MIDI Channel 10 is reserved for drum kits. I think there's also a SysEx event that is supposed to be able to switch GM Mode on and off.
