when i think preset and patches i'm thinking of the X number of preset sounds you get within a synth. like the 124 that come packed into the korg ms-2000 (an actual synth running through a PA not a piece of software running on a computer). you could use those canned sounds or you could twiddle the knobs a bit to actually get your own sound out of things.
Yea man I understand where you're coming from.
My point of view is simply that if a canned sound happens to be exactly what you're looking for, then there's more benefit to using it than worrying about what someone will think.

I agree that it's great to tweak your own sounds into existence, and I always love it when I hear a sound I've never heard. But sometimes the music needs a certain something, and I think giving the song what it needs takes precedence over worrying about a minority opinion.
