i generally note down the patch in the form of a block diagram on a sheet of
scrap paper, then later on, i'll tidy up the layout, and re-draw it in one
of those little artists note books you can get - this is my little black
patch book
if someone posts a patch, or an idea - i'll generally print off the email,
draw a basic block diagram on it, then leave it ontop of my modular for
testing at a later date - the resulting patch is then re-drawn into the book

i found that this was a more intuitive approach than traditional patch
sheets, as it exposes the workings of a patch, rather than just being a
piece of paper full of coloured lines

and yes, i was working on a PDF document of patches, but i've had to put
that on hold for the time-being - sorry chaps
