Patch design is a special "art."

Those that are excellent at it, exhibit the rare talent of consistent "quality" across different synth platforms.
Names that come immediately to mind (in no order) are Howard, Michael Carvallo and hackey (Mr. Wobble).

I once spent 72 hours, as an early D50-adopter in '87, on a ringmod structure (the hardest on that synth) to get
a resulting guitar-tang sort of thing - reminiscent of Frank Zappa's "sound" on Watermelon In Easter Hay...
...in *2* partials. The other 2 were used to bring in a pad, with aftertouch, on that patch.

My favorite patches, are the ones I can spend HOURS with, and find new things in them.
The aforementioned sound designers have that rare quality, as well, I think.

Enclosed, are 3 "flavors" of my first real patch(es) that pass that sort of rigor - to ME.
Credits are noted in the patches, that the sourcing was Michael Carvallo's "mc Horn Porn" - but they don't resemble it at ALL! ;)

Enjoy these "first fruits!"
