I've enclosed a sketch of a new GUI, based on my own fevered imagination as
well as your suggestions. I'm not certain I'll ever do any of this (sorry)
but I wanted to write down something more concrete than "the GUI sucks". If
someone ever works on the GUI, this might make a good starting point. The
Studio window in particular should be possible with minimal modifications to
the core.

Patch
Pull -- spec synth, bank, patch; jsl sends command to download patch
Auto-Get -- make synth send patch; jsl displays in anonymous patch
editor (which will need Save To)
or saves to auto-get lib for synth, created if necessary
Each project includes a single Studio.

* [add synth] lets user select synth, but also listens on MIDI and
auto-detects activity
* click > for a menu of options (New Lib, list of open libs/scenes)
Library is a flat list of patches.

S one first [X]

* [listen] waits for patches from this synth, appends them to this lib
Scene is a list of grids, each representing one synth bank, with patches
arranged pretty.
i.e. is a list of jsl banks, exactly one for each synth bank.

each window, when iconified, gets a large icon representing the synth
- position of icon is remembered
- 'project' saves file names and icon positions
misc
- auto-scan scans for synths, creates new lib for each that doesn't already
have an open lib
- bank 'sync' button -- auto detect changed patches on synth, ask user to
overwrite synth,
overwrite jsl patch, or save update somewhere new
- jsl should always be in Auto-Get mode -- patches that arrive append to temp
Auto-Get libs
