True. But then you can just not use the sub-patches! They do have their
uses - another good one is DX-style FM - building a single operator uses
about half a dozen modules. Being able to wrap this into a single module
called 'DX Operator' has a certain appeal. I suppose it depends on how
you work. It might be easier to just write a DX Op LADSPA plugin!
I was disputing your statememt that its the biggest improvement. I think
the biggest impriovement is combining the patching and parameter control
UIs. OTOH an FM synth built from first principles is a good example,
though most modular synths would/should have a single module to do that.
OK. 'The biggest' -> 'A big' :) So we've got two big improvements:
Sub patches,
and combined wiring/control UI (with the option of hiding wires).

Module wiring: The biggest improvement is to implement
sub-patches
[yes, I know there are plans for this in SSM :] - that way you can
hide a lot of detail in a single module.
That depends on your building style. I hardly ever use sub patches, my
patches have too much interrealtion.
