Paul-

You make a valid point, too. Having an "idea book" for complex
soundscapes or a programming guide for synth "standards" like
Minimoog bass or reed instrument sounds would indeed be useful to
those who require them. I, too, have little time as I'm raising a
grandson and working as an EE. Not sleeping much helps, but most of
my synth sounds are not reality-based.

Such a guide could be fairly universal and useful to owners of non-
MOTM modules, too. As everyone has no doubt seen, there are many
roads to Mecca. That is, several patch schemes will produce quite
similar results. Still, one could follow, say, Ehlardt's recorder
patch concept within the abilities of one's synth.

My comments in the earlier post were intended to inspire the newer
modular devotee to look more closely at the incredible
possibilities. Certainly, everyone has different expectations and
musical requirements.
