Line 1:
A synthesizer '''patch''' (some manufacturers chose the term '''program''') is a combination of settings and connections.
== In modular synthesizers ==
[[Modular synthesizer]]s use [[patch cords]]s to connect the different sound modules together. Since these machines had no memory to save settings, musicians wrote down the locations of the patch cords and knob positions on a "patch sheet", which usually showed a diagram of the synthesizer. Ever since, an overall sound setting for any type of synthesizer has been known as a patch.
