Paul-

You make a valid point, too.  Having an "idea book" for complex 
soundscapes or a programming guide for synth "standards" like 
Minimoog bass or reed instrument sounds would indeed be useful to 
those who require them.  I, too, have little time as I'm raising a 
grandson and working as an EE.  Not sleeping much helps, but most of 
my synth sounds are not reality-based.

Such a guide could be fairly universal and useful to owners of non-
MOTM modules, too.  As everyone has no doubt seen, there are many 
roads to Mecca.  That is, several patch schemes will produce quite 
similar results.  Still, one could follow, say, Ehlardt's recorder 
patch concept within the abilities of one's synth.

My comments in the earlier post were intended to inspire the newer 
modular devotee to look more closely at the incredible 
possibilities.  Certainly, everyone has different expectations and 
musical requirements.
