Hey, Shane, I've been a lurker for a while, mainly cuz I'm an EX5
owner (which can emulate an AN1X).
I'd be more than willing to house a patch database. In fact I've
been thinking of doing just that. I've been looking at JSynthLib (a
Java Swing librarian/patch editor. It would be trivial to add JDBC
to it and have a few databases one could hit. It can load patch
banks (although nobody's written an AN1X librarian yet) and save out
individual SYX files. I think we should think about housing SYX
files with columns that identify synth, creator, and a few columns
for proprietary notes, etc. and then verbal descriptions, reviews?
I'd recommend we do something like write a librarian to that spec and
then whip up a quick JDBC facility. I run an artist web site that's
got plenty of MySQL space.

the patch library and contribute a little programming time. FWIW, I
recently translated the entire AN1X patch library (99 banks) to EX5
format thanks to a utility that a fellow EX5 owner wrote, exFactory
3.0. So the user base for this library has rapidly expanded. Plus
I'd like to support my other synths, FS1R and SY77 and DX7, etc...
