BTW, I'm working on an OB8 patch translator, but I'm doing it in Python, so
it will by cross-platform.
But I only get 1-2 hours a week to work on it, so progress is really slow,
and I haven't worked on it in a few months :(
(mostly because I got a new synth) :-)

My initial version will just translate the OB8 patches to text or HTML, no GUI.
Later I may add a gui for editing the patches.
The OB8 has almost no UI, other than some leds, so this translator will
show you all patch settings in text, at a glance.
