As you can see this first run of modules is using the Cliff KM15B knobs, and in practice they look and feel great. The SYNC pos/neg edge button has a nice red Rean cap, and the bicolour LEDs sit nicely in the panel. I think the graphics worked out well too - the MetalPhoto finish is very crisp.
This is an 18HP panel, offering comfortably spaced controls, jacks and indicators. While I can understand the benefits of squeezing modules into tiny panels to get a lot of functionality into a small space, it actually takes a lot of skill to design a small panel well. The best examples of this I know of are the Tektronix 7000-series scope and TM500-series test equipment plugin modules.
The last task to do before these modules are ready to ship is to finish the user manual and get it printed. If that works out as well as the panels then I think its going to look quite good.
