I really like the patch diagram look. So here is my two cents on the labeling thing.The only
thing I see as an issue is that for someone like myself who doesn't have alot of modules
yet, or even one that is listed in the patch I then have to go to the web site look at that
model number and speculate the rest of the sound. I just cant memorize knobs and jacks
on things I havent used yet.

This might be good for Paul, it will probaly encourage people to get more modules.

cluttered. Best Ive seen so far. Jack/pot labels would be nice I guess, but most of us know
the jacks well enough (or soon will) where they arent really vital. BUT If you want to give
your MOTM patch diagram to a wiard (modcan, paia, etc..) friend of yours, youll need to
have the labels. I like how the patchcords (and note arrows) follow sommth gradual
curves.. is this something that the proram does automatically, (click two points, scale the
curve) or did you draw them like this?? really gives the sheets a finished appearance.

knobs and pots) that you fill out by hand? This is possibly the most versatile (no need to
fire up the computer to scribble down a patch) if the patch is a biggie, then simply use two
sheets. or four.. You could have a bunch in a notebook and just photocopy more if you
need. get some crayola markers and have fun. leave lots of space to write notes.
