This is what Roland's synth book set does. One shows the patch using their
modules. Just like the patch sheets I've drawn up and used, they look like
the silkscreens form the actual modules. The other shows a simple block
diagram which is just square boxes that say VCO or LPF for example, with
lines and arrows connecting them. If need be, I can scan a typical page and
upload it if it would help.

No problem. I'm not sure why the definition of music causes problems for
some. Hopefully Paul S. won't mind if I just quote the dictionary so we're
all on the same page from now on and also to clarify what I was expecting
from those interested in contributing to a CD of synth music. From
Webster's, "an art of sound in time that expresses ideas and emotions in
significant forms through the organized elements of rhythm, melody, harmony,
and dynamics."

Not sure if this is quite right. Just think of a computer program flowchart
and you'll probably be closer. Another source just hit me. The Doepfer
modular manual. It does exactly what Roland does (boxes and arrows). If
you have either of those sources, it's all right there. There would be no
knob settings or anything in the block diagram. Afterall, that would be
different for different synths.
