One tip I'll share: you might find it easier to get around if you "pretty print" the patch before editing.
- Open the patch in TextEdit - Copy the whole thing to the clipboard - Paste it into this website: http://jsonprettyprint.com/ - Copy the output into TextEdit - Edit away
Audulus doesn't care how pretty it is, but it sure is easier for humans to get around that way.
@Experiment1 Notepad++ is Windows-only, I believe.
Sublime would work.. does it have a special JSON mode? Any decent text editor will work to edit an Audulus patch. Atom is a free editor kind of like Sublime.
As for a document management system, I personally use git for version control on my Audulus patches. Works great, though not easily on iOS.
@Experiment1 Yeah, TextEdit works fine for editing Audulus patches - that's what I used. You can use the JSON Pretty thing mentioned above, paste that into a the Audulus file as opened into TextEdit, and proceed fro mthere.
