i've tried with panel drawings, but my system is always in a state of flux,
so i keep having to update them
also there's (i find) an intelligebility problem, in that a complex patch
documented in this way might look impressive, and of course, dead sexy, but
it's a nightmare to re-create, especially six months down the line when all
the modules have shifted around
i keep visual style sheets around to quickly jot a patch i stumble across in
mid session, but usually make my final documentation in conceptual form - in
my little black book...

of course, what we really need is motorised knobs, and programmable routing
via PDA...?
(no we don't really do we)

cheers
