I can't stress enough that the success of such a design rests with the horizontal sliders. If we can get that right, we're OK. Everything else is just incidental. Colours, icons etc. but you know I have my own preferences there. So yeah, go nuts, no problem with me, but let's get it right. I have some more technical details and improvements for the horizontal sliders, and comparisons with knobs, waiting in my drafts folder, will try to complete and send later. The Devil's in the details, you know! Cheers.
