IM going off on a tangent here. This is just an idea, but we could at some
point provide other instruments not as part of the LMMS bundle but as a
download where one can easily load them into the library so to speak. This
will keep overall size of packages down as well as download size.
Logic Pro X is around 60gb the way they did it was leave a basic setup of
instruments and loops and all other types of instruments are downloadable
from within Logic itself
