Metadata tags and search

[Phil (list)]

Hi all,

I was just curious if adding a metadata tagging / search capability has
ever been considered?  It would be quite handy to be able to sift
through instrument presets and samples to say quickly pare down the list
of what you're looking at to only those that are 'bass, synth, dark'
This is a feature that GarageBand has that is very useful as your
instrument/sample library grows.


Thanks,
Phil

I think I can handle that... thanks for the guidance.

Go for it!

A pull request is more wanted than discussion :) We can discuss better on github anyway, make a pull request or a new issue like a placeholder for the discussion and so others can see what you are working on.

Here are the discussion if you like a lot of text
