Sample bank names are a bit unweildy

[yaxu]

Bank names are quite a lot to remember and type

sound("bd hh sd oh").bank("RolandTR909")

Shorter names could be better, maybe as aliases:

sound("bd hh sd oh").bank("tr909")

Being able to put them in the sound list could be nice too, replacing the current _:

sound("tr909:bd tr606:sd")

yep it's annoying to write those long drum machine names all the time

Being able to put them in the sound list could be nice too, replacing the current _:

the list notation with sound is already used for s:n:gain

I think it could be cool to have a dedicated function that lets you pattern through all of the banks of drum machines. so you could do like sound("bd hh sd oh").drummachine("1")

Maybe adding an autocomplete feature for drum bank samples??
