Cardinal feat: added new example patches

The patches are binary files and not raw code. Are they still valid?

No, please don't share binary files.

Also this is too many imo, please select your 2-3 absolute best examples (not too complex, but showcasing some nice feature).

You can always share your patches on https://patchstorage.com/platform/cardinal/

vcv files are zst compressed tars, the format changed in Rack 2.0 as a way to be able to store not just the project file but also any other extra files used by the modules (so a wavetable or other binary data)

you can just change the file extension from *.vcv to *.tar.zst and any decent archive manager should be able to open it. the project file will be inside.

Are you ok with licensing these as CC0 / public domain?

I'll give these a test soon!

Ok, few comments:

Catalyst: very nice for such a minimal patch! the default volume could be a little louder
Xmas: maybe map the clock Run button to a macro switch so it's easier to see where to press to make the patch go. Or of course save it with the Run state on
Velour: I think it's better to disconnect the sync input of the second channel VCO, it produces a very constant and annoying tick (especially with headphones on)

Other than these comments I think it might be nice to maybe add a text module with a description about the patch (to help users read and understand the intention behind the example). Not mandatory, but I think it can help users to learn from it.
