Joe, don't worry, I'm not trying to avoid my personal in-depth
trial-and-error odyssee with this machine .-).

What strikes me though is that I've already had some really
cool patches going and then I naturally, being the scatter-brained
human I am, forgot to remember the patch. And then you
never ever get the exact same patch going *except* if you
had written it down.

I know this is a feature and not a bug. Everytime you sit
down and torture this thing it would do something else,
making it the unique experience I wanted to go for in the first
place.

But what if I really do like a complex patch and would like
to reproduce it later on Being a software guy, it's a no-go
for me to take a piece of paper and a pencil and do some
art expressing the patch.

So I'd write an PatchML page for myself to capture the patch
just like I would write a HTML page and put it on the web, maybe
just for myself to remember later on... If others find it and like
it too, even better, but that's maybe not the main purpose...

Hi Sebastion

A while back, I started organizing information by module from
this
group (click the Database link on the right), including patch
snippets, reviews and techniques. Unfortunately, the volume of
information has increased so much that I haven't been able to
keep up.

Happily, it's just as easy to type some of the individual module
numbers into the "search" box on the top of the page. The A100
group
archives are an incredible treasure trove of patch ideas and
information.

I'd also recommend that you don't try to impose a digital
paradigm on
an analog modular synth. Patch libraries, web-based or
otherwise, were
an outgrowth of the DX7 phenomenon, where most people couldn't
program
their own synthesizers any more.

If your experience is anything like mine, you'll learn more
about
synth programming in the next few months with a modular system,
than
you have in all your previous experience put together. Read some
stuff
about general analog synth techniques, and develop your own
patches!
It's much more fun and rewarding.

Joe
