    When he mentioned creating a patch, saving it, and then turning the knobs with the cables in the same place to create another patch it made me think of a conversation I had with Grant from Wiard. Grant said that he designed his system with the knobs up top and patching on the bottom so you can easily access the knobs after you create the patch. That way you're not in a mess of cables tweaking the knobs. Cwejman is the only other company I can think of that does that. Too bad other manufactures didn't do the same. Its pretty genius.

    Other manufacturers did the knobs on top, jacks on bottom thing, e.g. Moog, MOTM, much of the Modcan line.

    As ghostdog mentions, the benefit of this approach decreases with the size of the system.

    I think that the traceability of a patch with jacks located closer to their controls is better. It's easier to see what's going on, IMO.
