Description
### Enhancement Summary
Reorganise ZynAddSubFX presets by type (Bass, Keys, Lead, Pad) rather than by collection. Files can be renamed to `TYPE - Sound Name [collection].xpf` or something similar.
#### Justification
I think it's much more useful for producers to be able to pick sound by type, and what collection that sound comes from isn't exactly something that's necessary for that. Files can be renamed to `TYPE - Sound Name [collection].xpf` (and all have to be renamed to remain consistent).
This may or may not be extended to preferring type over instrument plugin eventually, replacing the TripleOscillator, ZynAddSubFX, etc. with the sound categories (which will be a lot more useful imo). However that's a big change requiring everyone's permission, while this ZynAddSubFX reorganisation should be really easy.
