About this site
The Patch Library is a place to make notes of your patches and share them with other owners of semi-modular synthesizers.
This site was created because:
- I got a little frustrated with the process of writing down cool patches in my notebook
- I was always searching for new ideas/patches on the internet, but found few
How does it work
Use your mouse to drag cables between outputs and inputs, turn the knobs, press the switches. Enter a title and your name, perhaps add some notes and an audio preview, then save your patch.
Important: You can edit and update your own patches as long as you don't delete the cookie that is used for this site. Perhaps user accounts will be added in the future, but I want this site to have a very low entry barrier.
