Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

The PEK front panel layout reminds me of one of the first synths I had experience with - a 
Moog Sonic Six. The Sonic Six was a hardwired synth (no patch points available) that was 
used primarily for educational purposes. The 'Six front panel had a blue-on-blue 
background where each of the displayed synth functions (oscillators, envelopes, etc.) were 
enclosed by a rounded border. Lines connecting the enclosed borders were used to show 
the signal flow between the various functions. The front panel thus conveyed the order of 
the Moog's internal circuit connections. Definately increased the 'ease of use' factor.

Cool to see the same approach on the PEK.
