Wow, see that? I asked some hypothetical example question of what a book might answer, and Ken didn't hesitate to answer them, and I didn't know a +oct sawtooth would help fill out clarinet harmonics. By the way Ken, I strongly believe I have you beat in the synth rain department, and when I have my modular synth complete I will have to recreate it and share my method, although it was originally created on VSTs.

I think I could improve upon it. You may have to imagine you're under an umbrella as well. The ending gets a little bit "oil boiling" instead of "rain slowly stopping"
Miguel Mendoza - I think it's really important that, instead of focusing on the patch diagram, the primary focus should be on explaining what is needed and how it is used, because we all have different modules. Just like a cookbook doesn't tell you to buy a specific brand of sugar, eggs, flour, etc, the patch book should assume you don't have the exact brand of filter, oscillator, waveshaper, etc (unless it's a key to the sound). Yes, patch diagrams could be included, but it should be secondary. I would love a website to collect patches.
