Subject: Patch names project

Group -
I spent some time figuring out how to extract the patch names from
the .an1 files which are in the Files section of our list.

It's a zip file that includes a text file for every patch. So when
you unzip it, you will see a directory structure with some files in
the root directory.

Each patch upload has 128 file names, and the extraction process
provided the names in a column in each file (sorry, unnumbered).
Where you see InitNormal this means that particular patch was either
unnamed or just blank when dumped from the synth.

The reason there's lots more file names than what you see when you go
to the files section is that many many .an1 patch dumps are included
in the zipped files. So, you will need to download all the patches
and unzip them to first get the .an1 file. Then you can locate
the .txt file that has the same name and view the patch contents of
that dump.

Now we can help each other find that elusive "Drive it" patch and
whatever other cool sounds without having to load up every dump.

Enjoy!
