I use the patchsheet modules in Windows Metafile Format and JPEG format that I
created and posted publically a while back, and are/were on the Synthtech
website. The WMF format should load in most draw programs like Illustrator.
Then just rearrange/duplicate modules according to your system, delete unused
modules, scale to page size, and then print out a batch of patchsheets of your
synth. Then when you want to write down a patch, just draw in the patchcord
connections and write in the knob values. It's clean, professional looking, and
actually makes writing down patches kind of fun (if such a thing can be fun).
I can fit my entire synth on one 8x11 sheet.
