I'm not sure how many people (including myself) were suggesting things be "wacky" or psychedelic ,but, rather to entertain the idea of some experimentation--especially in the realm of parameter control and I/O placement. Its always easier to dream first and then reduce to reality later, rather than the other way around.

I do sound and UI interface design for big and rather conservative hardware manufacturers--this issue comes up time and time again and we've found it rewarding to try and throw a little chaos in first before the hammers of Josef Müller Brockmann, Tog, et al are allowed to fall.

I'll be quiet now.
