KNOBKRAFT_ORMA library you can search
Import compatible banks and patch files. Duplicate recognition uses synth-specific fingerprints; names alone do not decide whether two patches are the same.

Today's interface includes lists and bank management.
From a folder of banks to a useful library
Find the sound. Keep the good ones.
Bring compatible patch files and hardware dumps into one searchable collection, then give your favourite sounds a place.
Hear it on your instrument
Recall or send patches to your connected synth. Send modes and destinations depend on the instrument; auditioning can write stored programs on some synths.
Understand audition modes →Make room for a project
Mark favourites, add categories and build ordered lists. Prepare a user bank when you need specific hardware slots. Saving its arrangement and sending it are separate steps.
Work with lists and banks →Your synth, its capabilities
Check your gear
Find your model and its reported support status. Capabilities vary by synth and installed version. Release availability is checked against 2.10.0; alpha and beta support still needs broader testing.
