I decided to take a stab at making LEDs similar to the power LED as the
switches. This of course mean I had to gain a little space so I reduced the
knobs by 2 pixels in the x and y, and as suggested removed the lines and
evenly spaced all the knobs. I also removed the T in SUST because ADSR is
pretty standard, and it keeps the lettering a little more consistant.
Thoughts, comments and suggestions?
