aye Johannes, that would be the one!

i'm hoping to use it as a starting point, not to duplicate exact
tonal qualities that are adequately produced on some of my other gear
(ie. i have enough digital garbage...would love to get my true
analog synth back into the picture, but the settings manual would
help give me a starting point to work with)

again, i apologize for using the word "patch" in the context of an
analog synth list...my choice of words appears to have been poor

-regards
