I still think it's a very worthwhile project to organize all the 
existing patches we have.  It can coexist with the sound design work you 
want to do.  I learn best from example, and if I see 10 different 
Minimoog bass patches and study them, I'm going to have a pretty good 
idea how to create my own from scratch.

Right now I'm still mostly just playing my A6, and having an organized 
patch reference would be very useful for that too.  I know there's other 
players out there -- especially newcomers -- who would also benefit from 
this kind of thing.

An organized patch library would also be a great way to keep track of 
all the patches that people have *already* created . . . people have 
been playing with their A6's for a long time now, I think there's still 
a lot of stuff not uploaded to the code404 website that we'd all love to 
hear.  And you can add the new patches created through this iterative 
development to the library.

So ... I say keep going at it Boele, but if you guys wanna work on 
patches with Matt too well of course nobody's stopping you!!!

Cheers,
Chris
