[Note: I tried to send this message out from my ISP's webmail interface earlier, and it got placed in the list moderator's queue for some reason.] 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.
