This is something I have also wanted for a long time. I am also a
user of the Korg X5 list, and there is a vivid exchange of sounds.
It's easier of course as all excahnges are in sysex and x5 edtor
format.
With the PolySix we will have to agree upon file format, and not the
least on sample resolution. But I have downloaded as many patches as I
could find on the web - which wasn't a lot - and I have also dumped my
own settings simply for backup purposes.

Here I have a question for the truly experienced PolySix user: Suppose
I did the mod on the LFO range. (I really,really would like to take
the LFO into the audio range). If I did this and made a setting with
the new higher LFO frequency, would that setting then be saved as part
of the sound patch, or does it still depend on the value of the
resistor
controlling LFO speed?
The thing is I have made a number of sounds that really depend on the
arpeggiator, and unfortunately the arpeggiator setting are not saved
as
part of a patch. They are obviously considered sort of 'performance
parameters'. Too bad, because a fast arpeggiator is really cool for
making
very living sounds. So I have had to make a sheet of paper describing
the
manual mods I have to apply to get to the final sound in some cases -
very
much in MiniMoog style. I wonder if this also applies to the LFO mod?
