Subject: Re: Patch Book

Just so some of those who talked about a patch book idea don't think
absolutely nothing will happen here, I might be working something out
with Paul S. for me to draw up and document some of my patches along
with some sound files to post. I'm motivated to at least get a couple
of things out there to see how it goes and how much work is involved.
I have no idea whether it's a subscription thing or what, or how long
it would go on.

Also, about the idea I mentioned about a Vintage Synth series of analog
synth CDs. If there are any people who have pretty good musical and
synth skills, who think an idea of a callaborative synth CD might fly,
or who have or will release their own CD's in commercial outlets (ie.
Moog Cookbook, Thelonious Moog, Dana Countryman, etc) and have any clue
as to the minimum number that could be sold, please speak up. Perhaps
there is an analog synth revival that can be tapped into in the general
public if the word can be gotten out. With detailed equipment
listings, it would also make a good synth demo CD.

Note that I'm talking about a CD with actual music meant to be listened
to. Not an album of noises, beats, random sounds, or unpitched
percussion. There's already too much of an anti-music attitude among
those buying synths. We need to get back to music.
