I think something like this could be fun. How to document patches is always
an issue anytime you start discussing something like this. My only personal
involvement would be a promise to be one of the financial contributors. I
could certainly benefit faar more than the average guy from that kind of
documentation. I'm just a synth Stooge. :-)

Here's an idea.
What if we start a patch of the week club.
Instead of Ken Elhardt writing a book and selling a dozen or so
copies, someone (I'm volunteering!) could collect patches from some
of the best patch artists on the list, maybe Mike Marsh and Scott
Juskiw along with Ken Elhardt for instance. There would be a
subscription fee. Each week each of the subscribers would receive a
patch in PDF format via email. The money from the subscriptions
would be paid to those who contribute the patches. If we had three
guys creating the patches, each would only have to come up with one
every three weeks. The patch creators would then be getting paid
for their time.
I don't mean to slight anyone. There are a lot of great patch
artists out there. Dave Wright has sent me some great stuff for the
MOTM CDR project. And of course Robert Rich is outstanding. I
picked on Ken Elhardt because he is the undisputed master of
replicating other instruments, Mike Marsh, because of the uniqueness
of what I have heard from him and Scott, because he is so good at
self running patches. Really anyone could contribute to this, but
someone would have to then decide what to use.
What does eveyone think? If there is no interest, obviously I'll
drop the idea. But I'd pay to take lessons from these guys. Maybe
there are enough MOTMers interested to make it worthwhile.
