I've always thought it would be nice if one could standardize a
schematic syntax for modulars. Something for describing topology, not
so much as an exact sound (tweak the knobs!) I know there's already a
schematic language for signal processing, and that might be a good
place to start, but I was hoping for something a little higher level.
Personally I've found a cheap digital camera is the best patch recorder
out there. I just take a few photo's of the synth in question from 3
diff angles, name and archive them with a sample MP3 and viola! A saved
patch. (Usually I'm too lazy to actually record an MP3 sample...)
