When importing instruments, I'm meaning to import a vgm or vgz file as an entire bank instead of one instrument at a time either.

Instruments imported from music files like VGM/VGZ (and also from IMF files) were always chaotically ordered and never match to the GeneralMidi, and you should manually assign every instrument in the destrination bank. Anyway, do you mean, you want to just fill first instrument entries by instruments captured from the VGM to keep this chaos for the future ordering works?

Yes. Or, an equivalent to vgm2opm, which in this case something like vgm2wopl.

I forgot to add that there's a VGM2OPM app, but this program is the closest to a VGM2WOPL that I can find except that the process is tedious and doesn't involve plugging a .vgm/vgz into the command line and resulting in an extracted .wopl file like VGM2OPM does.

I also forgot to suggest the option to have a blank bank that's not of any standard, that way you won't end up with padding patches or manually deleting an instrument one by one.

To add, importing OP2 (DMX) doesn't import percussion.
