A patch modeller does have merit, and is indeed a useful tool…but you still
need strong modelling skills.
Its like being an artist with just one size paintbrush. If you are good you can
still create amazing work. If you had a range of paintbrushes, you could do
even MORE amazing work. If you can't paint well however, it won't make much
difference with one cheap brush, or a full set of expensive ones…
A patch modeller could well be implemented into R4 via an IPAS routine, but
like any program, sometimes you get to a certain point in its development and
then realise you started off the wrong way, and nothing will fix it but a total
re-write, starting from a different conceptual point.
Maybe this is what happened… I don't know, but I do know as a developer that
it can be done with the IPAS 4 toolkit….Someone just has to write one…
