instrument rack : add info about the instrument origin
when you add instruments from the available drumkits (in the sound library) to your current drumkit there is no way of knowing where the instruments originally came from (from what drumkit)
keeping in mind that there are several instruments with the same name (snare, kivk, hh ...) it is very hard to 'trace' to what drumkit the instrument belongs.
AFAIK the only thing you can do is open up the h2song xml file and there this info is available
this can be annoying if you want to use the sound again in an other song, or if you want to know where the instrument sample is located on your HD
suggestion : add the drumkit name in the Instrument - General tab
see mockup in att

I don't think that this information can be provided consistently. What should happen if a user copies an instrument from drumkit A into drumkit B, and then a year later into drumkit C? Some users might want to have "A" mentioned as the source, some want to have "C" mentioned as a source (maybe because they don't even know that this instrument once belonged to "A").
Why not just rename the instrument after you integrated it in the new drumkit? This is much more easier (and clearer to me).

unfortunately not everyone has such a clean workflow like you have ;-)
i tend to just grab instruments from various drumkits and add these to a song
most of the time i dont even bother to create a new drumkit for that song, i just save the song. that's it.
in that case it is quite relevant to see to what drumkit these instruments belong
i'm not asking to show the drumkit that the instrument originally came from, just the name of the drumkit that the instrument currently belongs to (= the info that is stored in the h2song xml file)
so if you create your own drumkit named 'my drumkit' than the drumkit info (underneath the instrument name) should simply be 'my drumkit'
