Right now we support only .dsppatch files - A voice patch of up to 8 layers.

When we get a DAW we will need a project file type also;
when we get effects we will need effect preset files.
We should also be able to save individual layers for reuse.
Maybe wavetables and materials too.

We should nail down these file formats. My feeling is that they should all be RIFF-type chunks like the patch is, but they just contain different sets of stuff. i.e., a project document should contain the patches and layers that it uses.
