MOTM

I've always thought it would be nice if one could standardize a 
schematic syntax for modulars. Something for describing topology, not 
so much as an exact sound (tweak the knobs!) I know there's already a 
schematic language for signal processing, and that might be a good 
place to start, but I was hoping for something a little higher level.

Personally I've found a cheap digital camera is the best patch recorder 
out there. I just take a few photo's of the synth in question from 3 
diff angles, name and archive them with a sample MP3 and viola! A saved 
patch.  (Usually I'm too lazy to actually record an MP3 sample...)
