Whatever would fit best in the JSynthLib design. It could be I do not 
use JSynthLib correctly, but not all items I want to handle are 
playable. So an option to disable the Play function just like Send and 
Store... seems most useful. For me in the current situation this will do ok.

My current project, the Lexicon LXP-5, is a effect device 
(delay/reverb/pitch). So Play is not very useful. The current 
implementation however, can change the contents of the bank.
