How about panels silkscreened with "This Space Intentionally Left Blank".

Some of us simply use thin white tape to separate modules.  If it still looks 
like a confusing sea of knobs after that you might want to do something I 
tried as a test awhile back.  Use Letraset Letrafilm Color/Tint Overlay to 
color code different knob functions.  Just stick a piece of it ontop of a 
knob, use a sharp exacto knife and cut around the aluminum/chrome knob top, 
remove scrap Letrafilm, and bingo, you can now have knobs with metalic blue, 
metalic red, or other color tops.  It will add a lot of pretty color to an 
otherwise monotone synth.
