what I found out for myself is, that many patches need sort of an  
adjustment procedure to get them work.
just following the numbers and the patch routes often doesn't do the  
job for me.
and at least this part is done best verbally, from my humble POV.
the patching itself I write down in a form like

   NOISE(white) -> 440(IN1/5.4)
   LFO1(tri) -> VCO1(EFM/1.6)
                 -> VCO2(LFM/3.2)
   ADSR(+out) -> MMIX(IN1/5)

etc.
Admittedly I don't wrtite down that many patches, since improvisation  
is the big portion of our work ...

  :-)  Michael.
