unpatch: use drop-down menu for available instruments #14

Closed reduzent closed 3 years ago

This could replace the load button that opens a file browser. The file browser is bad UX since one can only load instruments from the instruments directory, so there is no advantage in the ability to browser around. Rather, it adds confusion.

It turned out that a drop-down would be come very long, much longer than the window. Since no sliders can be used in a dynamic drop-down covering other UI widgets, because the lowest widget gets the click, a scroll list was created instead.
