VOX ToneLab Patch Exchange

Hi there,
Here is an idea of a cross-platform (Windows/MacOS/Linux) application (Java) that'd make our lives easier. The point of this post is to gather your suggestions and to find java programmers to help.
Ok then, imagine you have a ToneLab model selection option, you choose once after of during the installation. Then you get a set of controls presenting your tonelab, similar to SoundEditor but without this crazy graphic layout. Kaal will hopefully take the patch conversion among TL models issues because he's a specialist in this topic

The main clue of the application is to be able to get and save patches online in a database available from everywhere, export it to files (cross-platform XML) and so on. So it is something like multi-model online SoundEditor.

Summary:
- Java language (SWT window toolkit) open-source for cross-platform availability
- ToneLab model selection (all three models supported! and easy-extensible for new ones)-this is for controls layout on the screen
- browsing patches online (in the configuration user can specify the patch server, default maybe patchdb.tonelab.net?? )
- browsing patches by ToneLab model or if the full conversion is possible without it? It'd be great
- exporting patches to server and XML files, not undisclosed TLP ones (then the file is open and human-readable)
- full MIDI support

Ok, do you think such application might me useful? There is a lot to do and it makes sense to do it only if it might be sensible.

Is there anyone willing to help with this project? Frankly speaking I've got nothing, started the project in .NET but finally resigned from .NET and decidec to switch to Java.

Best regards,
teel
