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.
This would be great I think, we've set up this for ssm :
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/noize_farm/
There are quite a few patches on there, but the yahoo hosting is far from ideal (have to
be a yahoo member to join, advertising etc)
I'd much rather use a dedicated site for linux synth patches.
Reaktor users get their user libary :

We should be able to beat them at this game at least :)
