I think "instruments" are the things that you switch between within a
bank (like with the MIDI patch select event, or whatever it's called).
And the AU "preset" concept is really more equivalent to a MIDI bank.
Or could be. In other words, you could theoretically have multiple
instruments within a preset.
All the current hosts pretty much fall into 2 categories now: DLSSynth
hosts which support instruments but mostly ignore presets, and hosts
like Rax and Logic that use only the preset concept.
It's really pretty confusing, I think.

Zoyd and Crystal are returning their "instruments" as Factory
Presets, while DLSSynth is returning them via the Instrument >> property.
Huh? What are instruments? Why should a MusicDevice have a different
terminology for presets than other AUBase derivates?
Well, and regarding Zoyd, most of the formal stuff is still the same
status as nine months ago with only Airy's synth as
peek-how's-it-done. It sets up everything during initialization (as
shown by Emagic sample code once upon a time), so you can't query much
before, only Channel configs. And you can't set presets before
initialization, I think.
