36     *
37     * LinuxSampler allows to spawn arbitrary instrument editor applications
38     * within the sampler's own process. That way instrument editors are
39     * able to modify already loaded instruments live or on-the-fly, that is
40     * without having to load it again neither on sampler nor on editor side,
41     * which is essential for editing large instruments.
42     *
43     * Instrument editors have to implement this abstract base class, embedded
44     * into a DLL and placed into the respective sampler's library path. The
45     * sampler will load these external DLLs as plugins on startup. Whenever
46     * there's a request for editing an instrument, the sampler will try to
47     * launch a matching registered editor, by calling the respective
48     * plugin's @c Main() method.
