Yes, but the layout of various modules would at least become
differentiated through the prioritization of function within each
module. Then, it would be easy to find each module (it would look a
bit different from the next). And then, you could find your favorite
function within each module easily, because you'd know it was either
the "big knob" or the "little knob" under the "big knob".
In any case, a glance at other modulars will show that in most cases,
this has already been done. FWIW, I believe that MOTM is the only
major modular that adheres rigidly to: (a) grid pattern layout AND
(b) same size/color knobs AND (c) jacks always under knobs AND (d)
no "border" around modules.
In the end, it's a stylistic choice, I guess. (And I'll repeat the
three cheers for Moe)!
