Summary	0001629: [Feature request] a way to access different velocity samples in soundfonts
Description	When importing an instrument from an SF2 file, OpenMPT always seems to import the samples assigned to the highest note velocity in the soundfont (that's what I think is happening, I might be wrong though), making samples assigned to lower velocities inaccessible. I think it would be nice to have some way to choose samples from a specific velocity range (e.g. a dialog box that would ask which velocity range the samples of that instrument should be imported from, or a "Default soundfont velocity" value that can be configured in the settings).
Steps To Reproduce	Example: Piano 1 (000:000) from SGM v2.01 When looking at the preset in a soundfont editor like Polyphone, there are two sample sets for velocity ranges 0-94 and 95-127, with the letters "p" and "f" in their sample names respectively. When the preset is imported in OpenMPT, the higher velocity range is chosen automatically without any way to configure it, making the "p" samples inaccessible.

Saga Musix 2022-09-05 12:55 administrator ~0005300	To be honest I'd rather implement velocity-sensitive instrument maps than clunky workarounds.

cs127 2022-09-07 14:12 reporter ~0005305	Sure, that's a lot better. I guess this could be another feature for the revised MPTM format (issue 865).
