Also, regarding the UEG (as an example of a module that
really deviated), it doesn't really look particularly foreign
in an MOTM system. Yes, it deviates from the grid, but
it still uses the same ALCO knob style, etc.

I agree. Tony made the compromises necessary to fit a lot of function into
2U. Did we really want a EG like that on a 4U panel.

There's an old axiom in visual design that if you make
a mistake, just do it two more times and it will look
intentional. Same goes for the UEG---if you think one
sticks out like a sore thumb in your system, buy five more
and they will just look like "variation 2" modules.

I bet Tony K likes the sound of that !!

(I think the addition of the big painted "Encore" logo
on the forthcoming Pitch Shifter will detract much,
much more than the knob size and spacing of the
UEG does, personally, and may be tempted to paint
over it....)

I agree. I like that synth Tech logos are limited to end caps
and probably black 1Us next Stooge panel run for those
with wood cabinets that "choose" to have a logo.

The funny thing is, right now, there are MANY small deviations
in the MOTM panel layouts, little "cheats" that ..... snip.....

Not many people at all seem to have noticed them up until now

I have, but I look at thie as evolving enhancements. That is the small
price we pay for buying modules starting when only one was available.
I certainly do not let these things bother me.
