New file/data types and terminology

Sound library

Extension

.h2l or .h2lib

Description

Replacement for the current Drum KIt (.h2drumkit).

Grounds

• .h2l is shorter than .h2drumkit which is way too long
• Hydrogen will no more exist as just a beatbox, it's gonna become a music production tool, so "sound library" is much more appropriate

Instrument

Extension

.h2i or .h2inst

Description

Data for a single instrument, including sample(s) and Synthesizer setup

Grounds

• Will be useful when each instrument will be a great synth on it's own, e.g. to share a synth or bass patch

Composition

Extension

.h2c or .h2comp

Description

Replacement for the current Song (.h2song)

Grounds

• .h2c is shorter than .h2song
• "Song" is not a good word for something you do not have any voice/singing in

Sequence

Extension

.h2s or .h2seq

Description

A pattern for a single instrument/track

Grounds

• Will be useful for sharing stuff like basslines, riffs etc.

Project

Extension

.h2p or .h2prj
