### make me a drum kit
I have added this option to make it easier for you to create a drum kit.
it puts all the samples into a new instrument with sample map.
after selecting this option, a list of parameters appears:
- **Drum kit mode**: select how to arrange the samples in the sample map.
- **Normal**: put all samples from the starting octave onwards.
- **12 samples per octave**: map the first 12 samples to all octaves, DefleMask-style.
- **Starting octave**: change the octave where the first sample will be at.
following that is a list of viable instrument types. click on one of them to proceed with drum kit creation!
