If you want "none clunky" UI, you really want my revised (v3) layout.  
It is (visually) almost as good as the first one but I put much more 
thought into what knobs should go where - as in, how the module is 
actually used and making it consistent with the way other modules 
work.

Not to suggest that this is possible (requires a little more support 
circuitry) but you could fix the jack field symmetry like this:

This would actually be a pretty cool feature because you now have all 
four phases of a quadrature oscillator for other uses.
