I've got a basic schema layout for instruments. I'll be improving it soon though. You can follow development here.

I'll post again when I have it running on my server.

Have you worked on it?
Because it says, that the last commit was 26 days ago

I've been sick and have three young kids so my time is limited but I'm still plugging away at it.

http://ucollective.org/patches/lsdj/ i've found to have a nice form for recording patches.

That looks really good. It's lacking a few features I'd like to see however.

• the ability to draw wave forms for WAV instruments

• open source (which probably no one else cares about)

• the ability to make collections of instruments to be able to showcase all instruments used in a song

• the ability to upload a sample sound file

• the ability to have multiple tables for an instrument

• the ability to export patchsets as a pdf or image or csv for offline use and archiving

It does look like they plan to add famitracker patches which some people might like, but I don't currently use that so I don't care.

Do you have any idea if it's under active development?

My intent is to have the forms look exactly like the LSDJ screens where the information is entered. The first version will probably have very ugly looking and basic forms though as a proof of concept.

When I get it into a more complete state, I'll be hosting it and I'll post the URL. There is a lot of groundwork but not much that's usable for a user yet. But if you check out the repo and you install django you can run a test with ./manage.py runserver

Cool i look forward to see the first beta of your work

+1 interesting!

Just throwing ideas out here, but maybe give an ability to upload short audio files as a preview?

Also a great idea.

Something simple like this, where there is just the boxes to type up what you did in the DMG would be cool. and yeah the HTML would be a doddle for anyone who speaks HTML.

I would happily sit down every few months and add my synths to the collection, my only request would be that there is a nice big box for describing the synth with all sorts of adjectives, so when searching for sounds you can type in words like "growl" or "voicey" or "sub" to find the right synths, if it ever grows to a large database that would be cool.

imagine getting a song nearly finished but thinking, hmmmm I need a synth that sounds like a kitten singing in the shower and you type in "kitten" and get a kitten style synth, that would be great

Great idea. I'll be sure to add a tag system.

The lsdj wiki is kind of awful IMHO.

I found this http://lsdsng.com but they require uploading to get anything and special formatting.

My thought was to have an HTML form that's set up like the lsdj screens so someone could just write out what they did. That way the site can then build images or HTML tables or csvs or PDFs for output.

I'm a programmer and the site itself would be fairly trivial to build. I'll try to build an alpha this weekend.
