You know, I tried this approach for a while. The problem turned out
that my rig keeps changing. THe block diagram approach works better
for me because I can diagram the patch independently of what modules
I have in the system. And I can include (sorry Paul :) modules from
other vendors.
Someone somewhere asked if it would be a good idea to create a patch
diagram program for a handheld. I'd say yes (I have an iPaq) but I
would also say do it for a desktop.
In fact, I would take on such a project but I don't really know the
formal definitions for the blocks in the diagrams. Does anybody know
of a doc where such a standard is described?

PS - I've recently acquired a Nord Micro Modular and I have been
experimenting with "diagramming" patches in that editor. So far,
mixed results...
