Actually, come think of it, it is not THAT complicated. At least for 
real algorithmic synths, i mean those that do not use samples.

What lands itself for such task would be some sort of standard 
capability language for synth drivers. Something with objects being 
different facilities involved in sound creation (generators, filters), 
and their properties.

Then translation would be just mapping of patch components in converted 
voice onto facilities available in target synth.

That in general leads to some sort of scripting support in JSL, which 
probably would be similar to other existing sound scripting languages 
(c-sound?). Not that I am familiar with any, but learning c-sound is 
long on my list of things to do.
