Oooh, me! Me! I wanna go! Pick me, pick me!

Okay, enough excitement. I'd like to play with this, so I'd be happy
to work with you. One of the things that always annoyed me about
soundfonts (and this is from way back when they were new) was the GUI
for creating them sucked. Probably not so true now with all the new
tools, especially the free ones, but I really hate using the mouse.

Mail me directly (james at dis-dot-dat.net) and lets see if we can
agree on what we should be aiming for.
