XSL-rendered XML schema used to categorize various pieces of music equipment I own and use.

When I took a recent class on XML I already had a solid idea of its fundamentals from using MaxMSP and designing web pages in XHTML but I hadn’t spent time trying to construct data models or present raw data in an attractive manner.

Being overloaded with choices is a major pitfall in digital music production, so at some point this page will grow into an interface for maintaining information on music tools and associated plug-in files.

This is a major issue for Kontakt 2 which is my primary software instrument and badly needs a way to reference which instruments (out of thousands…) I use in which songs so that I can find appropriate sounds more quickly when producing music.
