Is there anywhere that has a list of sounds, their canonical names, descriptions, variants, etc?
For example, starting from basic definitions like bass, leads, pads, swells, kicks, hi-hats, etc. Subtypes, like sub-bass, wobble, pluck, etc. Different kinds of typical usage, for example, hi-hat repeats, vocal midi-sliced patterns, etc.
I realize that it's difficult to catalog something so alive and vibrant, but there are basic building blocks that might benefit from some organization.
