Mike Brown also does a good job of keeping each Livewire product
different in this regard. It's good.  We're actually working on our
first which will incorporate PCB mounted pots (Model 30), which frees
the design up a lot to throw controls where we want them.  I'm going
to have to purchase 1000 of the things so it would be fair to expect
I'll use them on other new products as well.

Another design I've always fancied is Wavemaker.  I think they look
great.

The modules each have a shape to them that helps you navigate without
paying much attention to it, leaving more of your brain free for
creative expression. At least, that's the way it feels to me.
