Indeed, part of the purpose of the Open Music Resource Library will be
to host synth patches and sample sets. Loops is just what got the ball
rolling.
Lately, I've been busy setting up a new project page on SourceForge. So
really, I'm glad that this subject came up, because I needed to
announce the new OMRL mailing list to this list anyway. :-)
The new list for the OMRL can be signed up at:
http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/omrl-devel
The one at studioconsul.net will be deprecated and shut down soon.
Regards,
Darren Landrum

Agreed, and I found this community to be the one of the more
civilized
places on earth....
So... I throw out the question about a
centralized sound-patch
repository.
What if we provided a site similar to e.g. themes.org? Interested
parties should there be able to upload patches and associate them with
the synth they are made for. This should then be published on a
searchable web.
We've talked before about application databases ala freshmeat, this
could be a part in such an endevour.
I think that Darren with his OMRL project plans to do something like
this, there has been a long thread some week ago on this list. He
began with the idea of a free/open sample-loop library but IIRC there
were also talks about softsynth patches.
And, if I could add my 2 cents, I think it would be great to have
also
MIDI loops (particulary drum loops) and soundfonts.
It may very well be that we as a community are
still to small to
support
things like this, but I'd like to think we have reached critical mass.
Yeah! we're on the road to world domination!
Regards,
Robert
