What is your Patch Organization method?

Just curious how everybody categorizes their patches now that we can sub-folder them. Personally I have too much damn adhd and mine are really slapdash. I subfoldered grouped patches like polybeats, and I made a folder of samplers. I find myself only realizing what sort of group the patches should be in while I play them. I should make a group of fx too. I don’t keep up on my maintenance enough ;___;

Anybody super organized and want to show off their neat organization?
What are your folders named? What goes in them?

Test

(sort order is not as above, as not at my Organelle to check )

I do love all the C&G patches, and if I’m not sure what i want i tend to default to them - so like to be able to grab them quickly.

others , i keep trimmed down, like plugins on a pc, its easy to end up with lots i don’t use, so i just delete them, as i can get them back from patchstorage (and then i know ive also got the latest release) . but i have some staples like Pd-Grids :slight_smile:

mine, just because I’m biased

I only have test, as i have various on-going projects, so i need to have copies of what i have released (in mine), as well as the current ‘build’

I also use favourites, for my go to patches.

Good tips and the scrolling fun never ends.

Just add my 2 cents on the Favourites as I use a lot of MIDI Program Change.
I normally have this by memory and never get lost (ahh well sometimes depends on the amount of chocolate or something else :wink:
